local: Fix calling nanddump
In last 15 years nanddump changed its command line arguments. Argument -b (omit bad blocks) was completely removed and argument -o (omit oob data) changed its meaning to "include" oob data. So for compatibility with all nanddump versions, do not use argument -b and instead of -o use argument --omitoob which is present in all nanddump versions and has same meaning to omit oob data. This change should fix dumping firmware files on devices with recent versions of nanddump.
