nanddump: document, warn about future default --omitoob
To work as a proper inverse to nandwrite, nanddump must not dump OOB data by default. This patch prints a warning regarding the future change. We also suggest using the new flag, `--oob', for transitioning to the next release with new default behavior. Note that we are changing `-o' to mean `--oob' in the next release, similar to `nandwrite -o'. This is a break from previous behavior.

+5. nanddump will not dump OOB by default
+
+In 1.4.6, nanddump will not dump OOB by default. To dump OOB, you will have to
+explicitly use the option `--oob'. For now, there is simply a warning every
+time you use nanddump without explicitly choosing `--oob' or `--omitoob'.
+
+Note that `-o' will no longer stand for `--omitoob'. To unify with nandwrite,
+it will stand for `--oob' (Dump OOB data).
