cmd: adtimg: Refactor usage style
Trying to extend 'adtimg' functionality [1], we've been severely hit by a major limitation in the command's usage scheme. Specifically, the command's user interface appears to be too centric to getting the DTB/DTBO entry [3] based on the index of the desired DT in the image, which makes it really difficult retrieving the DT entry based on alternative criteria (e.g. filtering by id/rev fields), the latter being demanded by real life customer use-cases [1]. This went to the point of receiving below feedback from Sam [2]: -- snip -- As for 'dtimg' command: after giving it some thought, I think not much people using it yet. So in this particular case I don't have some strong preference, and if you think the 'dtimg' interface is ugly, and it overcomes "don't break interfaces" rule, maybe now is a good time to rework it (before it gets widely used). -- snip -- Given the above, rework the usage pattern from [4] to [5], in order to allow an intuitive enablement of "by id|rev" DT search [6].
