Subject[PATCH v3 1/5] block: add new flag to add partitions read-only
Add flag ADDPART_FLAG_READONLY to allow partition parsers marking a
partition to be set read-only.
This is needed for the uImage.FIT partition parser added by a follow-up
commit: we need to be sure the contents of uImage.FIT sub-images
remain unaltered they are validated using a hash within the uImage.FIT
structure which also serves as partition table.
