ifwitool: Introduce a skip BPDT parameter

SoCs like apololake can require two Boot Partition Descriptor Table
entries.  The second BPDT is usually in the ifwi binary which is
supplied but ifwitool can only create a BPDT binary with the first
BPDT of the supplied ifwi.

This patch introduces a skip BPDT parameter which is passed to the
ifwi_parse() function.  It allows the caller script to extract any
BPDT separately.  This is useful to extract the Logical Boot Partition
2 contains in some IFWI to inject it with fmaptool.

The same result could be achieve mixing up dd and ifwitool commands
but it would create dependencies on the dd command and more
importantly the script or Makefile would need to know the offset where
the second BPDT is.  With this simple new ifwitool option, the second
BPDP (or third, ...) can be located and then extracted in one command
without know its offset.
