Log: Warn of one-time programmable (OTP) memory
Some flash chips contain OTP memory that we cannot read or write (yet). This prohibits us from cloning them, hence warn the user if we detect it. Not all variations of the tagged chips contain OTP memory. They are often only enabled on request or have there own ordering numbers. There is usually no way to distinguish them. Because this is a supposedly seldomly used feature the warning is shown in with dbg verbosity.
The manpage is extended to describe the backgrounds a bit.
