Allow images to be padded to a certain size. This prevents CFE from
flashing them to the second image offset.

While the disadvantage is less available flash space, it's easy and
safe to flash without opening the device.
Going back to the original firmware is also possible.
This patch add two firmware utilities, mkbrncmdline and mkbrnboot.
mkbrncmdline patches the uncompressed kernel so the registeres a0 to
a3 are initialized and the memory size is passed in.
mkbrnboot takes the lzma compressed kernel and squashfs images and
creates a firmware image that can be flashed using the BRN-BOOT
recovery kernel, which is booted by holding both buttons when
powering up the device and will listen on http://192.168.2.1.
The firmware file from bin/lantiq/ to use is
openwrt-lantiq-danube-ARV4525PW-BRNDTW502-brnImage
The BRN-BOOT recovery kernel does size-check the image, so if it's
too big to fit into flash it will complain accordingly.
A second patch is needed to make the wired network interface work
since there is no u-boot to pre-initialise it.

Add two helpers for generating correctly tagged images for the T-Home
Speedport W 303V Typ B as well as xor'd ones as required by CFE.

Dual image capable CFEs store an image sequence at the same place as
currently OpenWrt stores the actual rootfs length, so it will get
overwritten when flashing through such a CFE.
To prevent this from happening, move the rootfs length field to the next
four bytes, thus completely using the reserved1 field.
Since the reserved1 field is now completely in use, it does not make sense
to allow it to be set from the imagetag utility, so remove the option.

Should make it work on big endian systems again, I do not have such a system.
This closes#9093.

Same as TL-WR741ND but with different hardware ID and without
detachable antenna.

* Rewrote commandline parsing code using gengetopt
- We now get long options
- We have more options including use of the info section for
board information (e.g. to add the same boardid but
different GPIOs on different routers)
* Added back the ability to write stock images (this is useful, for example,
when copying the firmware from the in-memory flash, and then being
able to create an image that will let you revert to/test stock firmware
* Fixed copying of CRCs to use memcpy instead of strncpy (strncpy stops at 0)
* Added ability to use all sections of the imagetag, including custom magic
signatures (e.g. for the Telsey router I'm adding soon), info sections,
and reserved sections
* Added putting the router type (as defined in the image generating Makefile)
into the info1 section and the filesystem type in the info2 section.
This will be used by mtd (when I add the code) to return the name of
image used to flash this router. (As requested by Jo, as well as being
useful for same boardid different board scenario described above).
