    cbfstool: accept read-only files when possible
    
    cbfstool tries opening the input file for write access even if the
    command does not require modifying the file.
    
    Let's not request write access unless it is necessary, this way one
    can examine write protected files without sudo.
    
    BRANCH=none
    BUG=none
    TEST=running
    
       cbfstool /build/<board>/firmware/image.bin print
    
       in chroot does not require root access any more.
