I found myself needing to write and verify part of a partition that
will be read by the bootloader by skipping blocks from the start of
the partition. Initially I added separate --input-skip and
--output-skip options but David Oberhollenzer suggested in
<cdfdbe5d-1aa8-e424-7691-338d0d63f7b1 at sigma-star.at> that a simple
flag to indicate that the start address should skip bad blocks would
avoid ambiguity.
David also suggested that I skip the bad blocks in a separate step
before the already-cluttered main loop.
