The default ISR (particularly the HardFault handler) print information,
but this information was not displayed on the console because the UART
IRQ is lower than some default blocking IRQ.
Allowing to set synchronous transfer corrects this.
The underlying Atmel exception library had to be modified to use the
synchronous output.
Making UART_PutChar always synchronous when called from an ISR is not
desired because we use TRACE_ macros is some ISR. The synchronous
output must be set explicitly.

The DFU uses the UART peripheral (with IRQ/ISR) for the debug output
console. Before starting the main application we should make sure
this configuration is reset to avoid interference (particularly the
IRQ/ISR).
This is not too important though since the main application
reconfigures the UART for console output.
Other peripheral could also be disabled (e.g. all other PIO used
by DFU), but most of them also get configured by the main application.

This way we can easily check with 'diff' for differences in our code and
Atmel softpack. Also, this layout is more suitable for building various
different firmware images (e.g. factory-test, dfu-loader, main
application) for a variety of different boards (simtrace, owhw, qmod).
