[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/5] tools: dumpimage: Provide more feedback on error

The dumpimage utility errors out in a number of places without providing
sufficient feedback to allow the user to easily determine what they have
done wrong. Add addtional error messages to make the cause of the failure
more obvious.
