fstools: Add support to read-only MTD partitions (eg. recovery images)
This patch enables fstools to open read-only MTD partitions, which in
turn also enables OpenWrt to boot from read-only partitions.
The use of read-only partitions is of special importance for WiFi-only
devices, where a protected read-only recovery image can be used in case
something goes wrong with the main firmware (eg. user gets locked out
due to bad settings, flash of an unbootable dev firmware, etc).
