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.
