mkimage: Add variable lenght header support
Some images have not a header of fix lenght. The patch will be used for the generation of AIS images, because this header has a variable lenght. The patch adds also the parameter "-s" (skip) to not copy automatically the passed image file. Signed-off-by: Stefano Babic <sbabic@denx.de>
