Upload sketches using a hardware programmer (from within the IDE). #260

What change would like to see?

The ability to upload sketches using a hardware programmer (e.g. AVRISP mkII) 
from within the 
IDE, without having to edit any preferences files.  This would probably be in 
two parts: one to 
select which programmer, and another to actually do the upload using the 
selected programmer.  
The programmer selection would then also apply to burning the bootloader, which 
could become 
a single menu item.  

Why?

There are lots of people using Arduino to program standalone ATmega chips on 
breadboards or 
custom PCBs.  It would be nice to better support this type of work.

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?  If so, how
can these be mitigated?

The only issue is doing this in a way that doesn't confuse people who don't 
have a hardware 
programmer or know what one is.
