Add dmidecode quirk workaround

Dmidecode emits a warning message about unsupported SMBIOS versions
to stdout before the information asked for when using "-s". I consider
this behaviour broken, but we still need to workaround it as e.g. Fedora
currently distributes an dmidecode with this behaviour.

Corresponding to flashrom svn r1136.
