Disallow erase/write for known bad chips so people won't try without a clear understanding

Allow override with --force.

If write/erase failed, warn the user to get help and not shutdown/reboot
the computer.

Warn that the result of a forced read is often garbage. Too many users
believed that a forced read meant that everything was fine.

Wait 1 second between erase and verify. This fixes a few reports where
verify directly after erase had unpleasant side effects like corrupting
flash or at least getting incorrect verify results.

Corresponding to flashrom svn r692.
