Portability fixes and cleanups

Move Mac OS X IOKit/DirectHW availability checks in the Makefile from
compiler check to pciutils check.

Print the compiler error messages for feature detection.

Add DOS libpci in the Makefile includes only if a PCI-based programmer
was requested.

Restrict mmap usage in ich_descriptors_tool to Unix style systems.

Build ich_descriptors_tool with the correct .exe extension on
DOS/Windows.

Build ich_descriptors_tool by default on x86. (Patch by Stefan Tauner)

Print the Windows version instead of "unknown machine" on Windows.

Don't #define our own __DARWIN__, use the standard OS X detection
method.

Update the README.

Add more generated files to svn:ignore

Corresponding to flashrom svn r1567.

 Processor architecture dependent features:
 
- On non-x86 architectures you have to disable a few programmers because they
- use port-based I/O which is not directly available on non-x86. Please add
- CONFIG_RAYER_SPI=no CONFIG_NIC3COM=no CONFIG_ATAHPT=no CONFIG_NICREALTEK=no \
- CONFIG_NICNATSEMI=no
- as parameters to the "make" invocation.
- Besides that, the internal programmer is only supported on x86 and MIPS. On
- other architectures, please add
- CONFIG_INTERNAL=no
- as parameter to the "make" invocation.
+ On non-x86 architectures a few programmers don't work (yet) because they
+ use port-based I/O which is not directly available on non-x86. Those
+ programmers will be disabled automatically if you run "make".
