cli_classic: Add option (-N, --noverify-all)

This option specifies to verify included regions only after a write.
It also reduces the data read before the write.

v2: o Changed short option name to `-N`.
    o Added section in the manual page.

This option is only useful in combination with
.BR \-\-write .
.TP
.B "\-N, \-\-noverify-all"
Skip not included regions during automatic verification after writing (cf.
.BR "\-l " "and " "\-i" ).
You should only use this option if you are sure that communication with
the flash chip is reliable (e.g. when using the
.BR internal
programmer). Even if flashrom is instructed not to touch parts of the
flash chip, their contents could be damaged (e.g. due to misunderstood
erase commands).
.sp
This option is required to flash an Intel system with locked ME flash
region using the
.BR internal
programmer. It may be enabled by default in this case in the future.
.TP
.B "\-v, \-\-verify <file>"
Verify the flash ROM contents against the given
.BR <file> .
