[PATCH 1/2] nandwrite: Add --skip-bad-blocks-to-start option

[Mike Crowe]

The --skip-bad-blocks-to-start option will increase the seek offset by the
size of each bad block encountered between the start of the partition and
the specified start address.

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