Years ago we contributed flash programming patches upstream.  The following
patch is a leftover one that complements that functionality by adding a new
command to erase all reported flash memory blocks.

The command is most useful when we're dealing with flash-enabled targets
(mostly bare-metal) and we need to reset the board for some reason.

The wiping out of flash memory regions should help the target come up with a
known clean state from which the user can load a new image and resume
debugging. It is convenient enough to do this from the debugger, and there is
also an MI command to expose this functionality to the IDE's.
