- Force chip read by faking probe success.
- Force chip access even if the chip is bigger than max decode size for
the flash bus.
- Force erase even if erase is known bad.
- Force write even if write is known bad.
- Force writing even if cbtable tells us that this is the wrong image
for this board.
This patch cleans up --force usage:
- Remove any suggestions to use --force for probe/read from flashrom
output.
- Don't talk about "success" or "Found chip" if the chip is forced.
- Add a new internal programmer parameter boardmismatch=force. This
overrides any mismatch detection from cbtable/image comparisons.
- Add a new internal programmer parameter laptop=force_I_want_a_brick.
- Adjust the documentation for --force.
- Clean up the man page a bit whereever it talks about --force or
laptops.
Additional changes in this patch:
- Add warnings about laptops to the documentation.
- Abort if a laptop is detected. Can be overridden with the programmer
parameter mentioned above.
- Add "Portable" to the list of DMI strings indicating laptops.
- Check if a chip specified with -c is known to flashrom.
- Programmer parameter reliability and consistency fixes.
- More paranoid self-checks.
- Improve documentation.

This is not just for fun. We hit a real bug on BSD with the outl macros.
The macro variable tmp collided with the tmp from outer scope.
second revision, now also taking care of inb/inw/inl. While that shadowing
did not introduce bugs (yet), of course it breaks the build on BSD when
-Wshadow is enabled.

It also changes so -VV will spit out highly verbose messages for
debugging. This is a minimal patch to lessen impact a later patch will
convert current printf messages to the new interface.

And rename them accordingly. For now, main() just calls cli_classic(),
but alternative frontends can be switched in main().
Annotate remaining help texts with CLI dependency inside flashrom.c with
a FIXME comment.
Now people can go and create different frontends and be happy. Please
note that any other frontend will have to sort of duplicate the probing
code in cli_classic.c. Refactoring that part of the code is possible,
but not easy because we still want to print instructive help messages
for users.
