[PATCH] erofs-utils: dump: Add --cat flag to show file contents

This patch adds a new '--cat' flag to the 'dump.erofs' command. When
used it will write to the standard output the content of the file
indicated by the '--path' or '--nid' options. For example, if there is a
'/mydir/myfile.txt' file containg the text 'mytext':
$ dump.erofs --cat --path=/mydir/myfile.txt myimage.erofs
mytext
