Bug in BOSSA (bossac) on macOS prevents flashing parts

[JetForMe]

Describe the problem

There is a bug reported in a couple of different places in the bossac command line tool for flashing Microchip SAM MCUs. The fix is straightforward and available in this PR, but it has been sitting there since August 2021.

As there is no issue tracker for the Arduino BOSSA repo, I'm opening this issue to hopefully draw attention to the PR.

Although bossac 1.9.1-arduino2 (the latest) has a patch applied relative to the upstream BOSSA for this flush operation, as implemented, it doesn't work on macOS (it may work on Linux, I don't know).

To reproduce

Attempt to flash a SAM5Ex part. It will fail verification

Expected behavior

I expect it to succeed.
