For some command line flags, the argument string is copied. Simply
writing over the buffer leads to a resource leak if the same flag
is specified on the command line more than once.
This patch adds a free() call to the old buffer before overwriting
it with the new copy.

Now that C++17 introduced a special fallthrough keyword for
explicitly tagging switch cases that are supposed to fall
through, newer gcc versions also implement a feature request
from 2002 to warn about maybe unwanted fall-throughs in switch
cases in other languages (like C).
For C code, we can either add a gcc specific attribute at the
end of the switch case, or use a special comment that gcc checks
for, indicating that the fall-through behaviour is indeed
intended.
This patch adds a "/* fall-through */" comment at the end of
various case blocks to silence gcc warnings and in some cases
a break, where fall-through was probably not intended.

The --skip-bad-blocks-to-start option will increase the start address by
the size of each bad block encountered between the start of the partition
and the specified start address.
This can be useful if other readers of the partition will be reading using
a simple bad-block-skipping algorithm.

When a program does sophisticated enough command line processing
(i.e. getopt), make sure it responds to -V and --version.
When a program prints a version string, make sure it uses the
common_print_version macro to print out its name, that it is part
of mtd-utils and the mtd-utils version from the build system in a
fashion similar to common program packages like the GNU coreutils.
When a program responds to -V/--version or -h/--help, make sure it
reports success exit status.

Errors may happen, it's e.g. easy on embedded devices to run out of space
when dumping big partitions. This patch adds a helper function for
writing. It deals with partial writes and just returns 0 on success or
error number.
The old code didn't check for errors at all which could result in
incomplete dumps without exiting with an error.

nanddump was always writing a whole page of data into the output
discarding the length actually requested. This patch allows to
write only the remaining length if oob is omitted. In case oob
is needed, it makes sense to copy the entire page.

* There is no code modification in this commit, only moving
* the files to proper place.
The user tools looks a little messy as we place almost
the all tools in the root directory of mtd-utils. To make
it more clear, I propose to introduce the following structure
for our source code.
mtd-utils/
|-- lib
|-- include
|-- misc-utils
|-- jffsX-utils
|-- nand-utils
|-- nor-utils
|-- ubi-utils
|-- ubifs-utils
`-- tests
