[PATCH 1/2] nanddump: add --skipbad option for bad blocks

This patch adds a new option "--skipbad" to nanddump. It is subtly
different than "--omitbad". The following description was included in
the help message to attempt to clarify the differences.
Notes on --omitbad and --skipbad:
With either option, we stop dumping data when we encounter a bad block
and resume dumping at the next good block. However, with --omitbad, we
count the bad block as part of the total dump length, whereas with
--skipbad, the bad block is 'skipped,' that is, not counted toward the
total dump length.
