ddimage: Add script for writing images to boot media

Fixes [YOCTO #1806]

Standard practice is to use the Linux "dd" command to write images to boot
media. This can be error prone and the results of sloppy usage can be
disastrous. Locating the device you want to use is a clumsy process, especially
on a headless build system.

The ddimage script does the following:

o Check the image and device exist
o Check the device is writable
o Compare the device to a blacklist and abort if it's listed
  Blacklist defaults to "/dev/sda"
o Display useful identifying information about the image and device
o Prompt the user before commencing the write

The output looks something like this:

$ sudo ~/bin/ddimage tmp/deploy/images/core-image-sato-fri2-noemgd.hddimg /dev/sdk
