- Default path for flashrom binary should be "../flashrom" since that is
where a user will typically have built a fresh binary. This can be
overridden easily.
- Suppressed some annoying output from "dd" command.
- Implemented better checks for uuencode and pre-installed (assumed to be
stable) flashrom binary.
