Several devices, including the Fuze+ have great trouble recovering from
very low battery states, even in the presence of USB power. This is partly
due to buggy Sigmatel boot stubs and Rockbox bootloader doing unsafe power
operations on boot (should be fixed soon). In such a state, it is impossible
to boot either the OF and Rockbox, so only the recovery mode is available.
With this commit, mkimxboot can now create a very small stub which only
does one thing but does it well: setup charging to recover from any situation.
It does not provide a fancy charging screen or whatever, screen will just
stay black and the device will slowly charge at ~100mA. When the battery is
back to a normal level, just unplug and boot normally.

Refactor code.
This tool can now either load a scrambled rockbox
firmware (in which case the model is check against the
firmware), or any ELF file. This is useful for example
for hwstub which produces a ELF file and still needs
to be loaded by producing a SB file.

Add a switch to override the product and component version of the
sb file. This can usually for target like the Zen X-Fi2 where the
upader allows to drop any file named firmware.sb and prints the
version: by using a funky version the users can check they got it
right. This should not be used on the fuze+ or zenxfi3 because the
OF prevents downgrade.
Also make rbutil always zero out the option structure passed to
mkimxboot, this has already created bugs in the past.
