STM32F410 and STM32F413/F423 were missing from the F4 sector-size list in stlink_calculate_pagesize(), so they fell back to the uniform flash_pagesize (16 KB) from the chip config. The erase loop advances by that page size, but calculate_F4_sectornum() maps every address within a sector to the same sector number -- so a 64 KB sector was erased 4 times and a 128 KB sector 8 times. Add both chip ids to the list so the erase advances by the real sector size (16/64/128 KB) and erases each sector once. Measured on a Nucleo-F413ZH: a 512 KiB write dropped from ~44 s to ~16 s (32 -> 4 sector erases). Small 16 KB sectors are unchanged (page size already matched the sector).

Repeated flashing f413 with st-link is very very slow compared to j-link / stm32 cube.
This ensures full sector erases are used when possible.
