Details:
If user passes an an ELF file or an AVR COFF to avrdude-5.10 it will attempt
to flash it as a binary file.
This leads to confusion [1] and blocks the path to ever implement the
feature.
This patch adds code to recognize these file formats and print appropriate
diagnostic message.
And will prevent flashing a garbage.

(A note for myself: avr-objcopy -O coff-ext-avr inputfile.elf
outputfile.coff, task #5093)
