cli_classic: Defer flashrom_init calibration until after options parsing

flashrom_init() may run through an expensive delay calibration phase,
depending on the system timer behavior (e.g., if high resolution timers
are disabled). This is wholly unnecessary if we're only going to dump
usage output or similar.

Defer the calibration until we've finished our CLI overhead.

BUG=b:325539928
TEST=`flashrom --help` with `sysctl kernel.timer_highres` == 0
