[PATCH 1/2] nandwrite: Add --output-skip

[Mike Crowe]

Skip the specified number of bytes (which must be page aligned) before
writing. This differs from --start when there are bad blocks: --start
always seeks to the specified offset in the flash, --output-skip works its
way through the flash a page at a time from the specified start, skipping
bad blocks provided --noskipbad was not also passed.

This can be useful when writing part way through a partition that will be
read using a simple bad-block-skipping algorithm.
