Multiple flashrom fixes
- Install binary in /usr/sbin (not /usr/bin), as it's a root-only tool.
- Rename manpage from flashrom.1 to flashrom.8, as section 8 contains
"System administration commands (usually only for root)".
- Actually install the manpage upon 'make install'.
Corresponding to flashrom svn r149 and coreboot v2 svn r2866.
