avrdude: fix ftdi_syncbb to bring Programming Enable time delay into spec

Description
When using the FTDI bit banging programmer, chips will reply to signature requests and even program with -D (disable chip erase). However, when -D is left out and the default action -e (chip erase) occurs, the chip will not reply to a subsequent program enable in time.
This happens because the datasheet specified delay (20ms) has not been observed. The current version of avrdude 6.1 only waits for 5 ms. For chips with slow oscillators this is a problem.
The attached patch (patch-245r.diff) to be applied to the source corrects this problem as described in this post from avrdude-dev: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2013-09/msg00160.html
I have also included a Portfile patch (Portfile-avrdude.diff) that applies the attached patch.

If this changes runtime behavior, the revision must be increased.
The mailing list post you reference is from 2013. Why haven't the developers released a new version fixing this problem?

Thanks for looking at this...

I've not submitted to macports before so I'm not sure I know what you mean. I understand the words, but I don't know if you mean the macports revision or avrdude...

It was briefly fixed in an earlier version but it appears there was a reversion at 6.1. My guess is that since there have been no new releases since 6.1 this patch has not been applied.

I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with that programmer, so I wouldn't know if the code fixes and does not have side effects on other hardware (as per this response). You should submit this patch upstream.
