[PATCH 3/3] tools: mkimage: add cmd-line option '-L' to force legacy images

If the user select the image type "flat_dt" a FIT image will be build.
This breaks the legacy use case of putting a Flat Device Tree into a
legacy u-boot image.

Add command line options "-L" and "--legacy" to let the user force the
creation of a legacy u-boot image, even if "flat_dt" is selected.
