Some transports/debuggers expose the SPI ports in a way that can be
accessed by the flashrom program, without going through opentitanlib.
This CL introduces a new `flashrom-args` command under `spi`:
```
opentitantool --conf ... --usb-serial 2042355F3236 spi --bus=SPI1 flashrom-args
{
programmer: "raiden_debug_spi:serial=2042355F3236,target=2"
}
```
This can be used in cases where the flashrom program better knows how to
communicate with e.g. the SPI flash chip mounted on the OpenTitan
development shield, in order to quickly load some data into it as part
of setup before testing code on the OpenTitan chip.

Some transports/debuggers expose the serial ports in a way that can be
accessed by other programs, without necessarily going through
opentitanlib.
This CL introduces a new `uart` top level command and `os-device` under
it, (in hindsigt, `console` and `rescue` probably beloned under the same
top-level, in order to share some flag processing.)
The idea is that `opentitantool` can be queried, using a set of
configuration file with aliases and command line usb serial number, and
will print the path of the underlying OS device corresponding to the
given port of the given debugger:
```
opentitantool --conf ... --usb-serial ... uart --uart=EC os-device
{
path: "/dev/ttyUSB6"
}
```
This can be used in cases where processing of output from the OpenTitan
chip takes place in external scripts or programs. Such cases currently
will have to use an `opentitantool console` process to pass data between
the serial device and its stdin/stdout pipes to the actual script doing
the actual processing, which is wasteful.

Add two new commands to
opentitantool:spi flashrom-arganduart os-device, which can be used for heling external programs access HyperDebug (or some other backend devices) without going throughopentitanlib, while still using theusb-serialand port aliases from our configuration files to identify the debugger and port.
