Back when we first designed this, I asked about including devices.csv in the gcc sources, and... no. It's not GPL. So please make sure to thoroughly test the "no devices.csv found" case. It's fine to use it to override the internal data, but not fine to rely on it.

I think occasional updates to the table are still warranted from a philosophical and GPL point of view, although I expect the average user to use the latest devices.csv anyway. If gcc stops working properly for lack of a proprietary file, that's a problem. [rest of review later]
