CFH: One updater.sh to rule them all

CFH as 'Call For Help'

http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1526

Recently I was working on updater.sh which can be used on all Zaurus 
models instead of keeping 5 versions (tosa/poodle/akita/spitz/c7x0). 

Changes:
- removed support for mversion.bin (OE does not use it)
- report Zaurus model as model/dogname: "MODEL: SL-6000 (tosa)"
- allow to flash kernel, rootfs (internal flash or internal CF)
- removed support for flashing /home partition (it was only partially 
added anyway)

Test results:
- c7x0: kernel OK, rootfs OK
- tosa: kernel flashed OK, rootfs failed

I suspect that one block from Tosa updater.sh needs to be added to unified 
one:
                #check version
                /sbin/bcut -s 6 -o $TMPDATA $TMPHEAD
                if [ `cat $TMPDATA` != "SHARP!" ] > /dev/null 2>&1
                then
                        #no version info...
                        rm -f $TMPHEAD > /dev/null 2>&1
                        DATAPOS=0
                fi

Other models does not use this check.

Resulting script works ok on c760, fails on tosa.

If you have time, knowledge and want to help - join.
