[flashrom] [PATCH] Allow bus override with forced read

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

If someone wants to perform a forced read of a chip via mmap, we should
allow that even if the host doesn't support the bus this chip needs.
Example:
flashrom -p dummy:bus=spi -V -c Am29F016D -f -r foo.rom
This won't work right now because -f won't override probe skipping. So
far the only use of this bus override is for the internal programmer,
and as such I wonder whether we should make the bus override conditional
on the internal programmer. It's pointless for other programmers anyway.

Comments welcome.
