Add aliases for SDI, SDO and EN, so that pin names match the text on the
PCB to avoid confusion.

Also disable all pins from port B, because that package of SAMD21
doesn't have port B.

It turns out this is not necessary, because ports/atmel-samd/asf4/samd21/include/pio/samd21e18a.h does not even #define the PBnn pins. The checks in ports/atmel-samd/peripherals/samd/samd21/pins.c are of the form:

#if defined(PIN_PXnn) && !defined(IGNORE_PIN_PXnn)

so if the ASF4 include files don't even define a pin, you don't need to explicitly ignore it. (It doesn't hurt, of course.)

I discovered this by coincidence because I'm defining a new board also with SAMD21E18A, and wondered if I had to ignore non-existent pins. The answer is no. I checked by looking at the image size, which doesn't change whether or not the IGNORE... lines are there. (Note that it's a little bit tricky to compare the sizes, because the version string will change length depending on the last commit. and whether you've made changes since the last commit.)

I'll go back and clean up the other SAMD21E18A boards sooner or later. I plan to add a comment like:

// PBnn pins do not need to be ignored because they are not defined for this chip package.
