Change programmer options separator from = to :
Current programmer parameter syntax is -p programmer=parameter
Unfortunately, many parameters are of the form variable=val, so we get
commandlines like this.
flashrom -p it87spi=port=0x820 and this looks horrible.
Using : instead of = would make such parameters look better: flashrom -p
it87spi:port=0x820
As a side benefit, this patch mentions the programmer name in the error
message if it is unknown.
Corresponding to flashrom svn r693.
