When flash chip detection fails, it is still useful and possible to read the
flash chip contents. If no flash chip is found in normal probes and the
-f -r -c CHIPNAME options are given, a successful probe for the specified
chip is forced, and then flashrom reads the flash chip using either the read
function for the specified chip, or if there is none, a simple memcpy().

The patch also moves the global variable int force in flashrom.c into main()
and passes it as a parameter to layout.c:show_id(), which was the only other
function that used the variable. This is needed to avoid confusion with the
new parameter int force which is added to flashrom.c:probe_flash() and used
to force probe success for the chip named in char *chip_to_probe.

Corresponding to flashrom svn r259 and coreboot v2 svn r3367.
