This PR makes it possible for Avrdude to detect a PICkit4 or SNAP programmer in PIC programming mode, and prints a reasonable error that this (currently) has to be changed over to AVR mode using either MPLAB X or Microchip Studio.
Hopefully, @janegilruud will have time to look into #1027 someday, which is the ultimate solution to the entire "PIC programming mode problem". However, this PR makes it obvious to the USER why their brand new PICkit4/SNAP doesn't work as expected.
