[PATCH] ubi-utils: ubicrc32: process command line arguments first

When a command line option is used (e.g. --version), the tool
tries to open it as a file first, then *uppon success* attempts
to process the command line options (including what it assumed
to be an input file) which is obviously broken.

This patch moves command line processing first and then attempts
to open *the first unprocessed* argument.
