In Brave we can fail to parse the serial and therefore to tell the board version (it anonomises the device serial number) and we need this information to flash the correct hex.

This matches MakeCode's approach.

I confirmed that identical serials are found in Chrome for V1 and V2 via this and the old method.

I don't think the fallback should come into play but leaving it for now. This feature has been in DAPLink since WebUSB support has been in DAPLink.

See #57

Tweak format command to be less verbose.

Confirmed I can connect in Brave (on Mac, but that repro'd it before) with all settings reset to defaults.
