I have used flashrom just little enough to forget that -w isn't implied,
and wonder why nothing happened. This fixes the help, and says something
at the end of no operations are specified. Just a little user-friendliness
from your good friends at LinuxBIOS.

[FLASHROM] Fix the help, and print a message when nothing happens
The help implied that writes happen by default, which they don't. Fix
the text, and say something when we get to the bottom and nothing happened.
