Make flash-size limiting of atapromise a general --force feature

To allow accessing at least part of flash chips behind this size-limited
controller,  the `atapromise' driver used a local function that adjusted
a chip description.  As flashprog would have bailed out earlier already,
this was only ever usable with the `--force' flag.

The same adjustment can be used with other programmers. Making it a glo-
bal feature also gets rid of a driver peculiarity and removes the depen-
dency on `flashctx` in the `atapromise' driver.

The logic enforces a complete chip erase if any erase is necessary. So,
while this should make part of the chip fully read/writable, content of
the inaccessible area will be lost on write.
