Summary of changes
This PR adds support for uploading over DFU. This is a prerequisite for working with Arduino STM32H7 boards, such as Portenta and Giga. These boards support DFU both via the Arduino bootloader and via the STMicro ROM bootloader. There currently isn't a defined way to enter the Arduino bootloader from Mbed however, so we'll have to rely on the ROM bootloader for now.
dfu-utils seems to be the standard way of doing this, so I added support for it in CMake. However, STM32Cube also supports DFU uploading, so it wasn't too tough to add an upload method for it as well.
