loadtools/scripts: w220.{config,init} => chimei.{config,init} Motorola W220, first touched by FreeCalypso in 2019-05, is an ODM phone made by Chi-Mei, and its peculiar property of relevance to loadtools is that it has XRAM on Calypso nCS3 instead of the usual nCS1 - which matters for fc-xram. We are now discovering other Chi-Mei phones including Sony Ericsson J120, and they share the same quirk of XRAM on nCS3 - hence we rename this loadtools target from w220 to chimei.

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.
