add 'mavrdude' target into tmk_core/avr.mk (#3986)

* add 'mavrdude' target into tmk_core/avr.mk

I made it a little convenient when writing the same binary to multiple Pro Micro.

* rename target name 'mavrdude' to 'avrdude-loop'

* modify docs/flashing.md about avrdude-loop

* mdify docs/flashing.md again

* modifi docs/flashing.md 3rd
