[Skiboot] [PATCH] pflash: Add --skip option for reading

Add a --skip=N option to pflash to skip N number of bytes when reading.
This would allow users to print the VERSION partition without the STB
header by specifying the --skip=4096 argument, and it's a more generic
solution rather than making pflash depend on secure/trusted boot code.
