fc-loadtool help: improve language regarding 16 MiB flash chips In FC project history, 16 MiB flash originally meant Pirelli DP-L10. Then we got FCDEV3B with the same flash (our own design), but now we are discovering more Calypso devices that used such large flash, both late Calypso era (Sony Ericsson K2x0) as well as much earlier ones (FIC FLUID devices.txt file with 2004 dates, Leonardo+ rev 5). Hence we need to migrate to more generic or neutral language in associated documentation, without giving elevated status to specific examples that drove our early project history.

Changes from loadtools-r2 to fc-host-tools-r3:

* Implemented support for Mot C1xx (Compal) targets in addition to the
  previously supported Openmoko and Pirelli.  Compal phones have different
  flash, require a different procedure for gaining code download access, and
  have additional bricking concerns.

* Updated loadagent includes Intel flash support and ABB commands needed for
  Compal phones.

* The range of IRAM addresses used by loadagent changed to allow gsm-fw
  ramImage builds (chain-loaded with fc-xram) to load their IRAM code section
  directly into place.

* Loadtool's flash program-bin command now automatically performs a CRC-32
  verification after programming.

* Miscellaneous minor polish.

Changes from loadtools-r1 to loadtools-r2:

* A flash ID check has been implemented in fc-loadtool, invoked automatically
  before doing any erase or program operations, or explicitly at any time with
  the flash info command.  This check ensures that the type of flash chip in
  the target GSM device is the same as what loadtool thinks it is, based on the
  hardware parameters file.

* fc-xram command line syntax changed slightly in order to support immediate
  passing of the serial line to rvinterf/rvtdump.

* Miscellaneous minor polish.
