Some Motorola devices (Qualcomm kernel with CONFIG_MMI_DEVICE_DTBS
configuration enabled) need 1k of padding to the DTBs to allow for
environment variables to be runtime added by the bootloader.
Those extra paddings will be removed during the process of dtb patch,
devices won’t be able to boot-up and return to fastboot mode immediately
after flashed the flawed boot.img.

- some Samsung devices (e.g. Galaxy S5 SMG-900H) use a slightly different AOSP bootimg.h variant with `#define BOOT_NAME_SIZE 20` instead of 16
- since all known examples of these device images do not have anything in the NAME or CMDLINE fields, and the bootloader also accepts standard AOSP images, simply offset the SHA1/SHA256 detection by 4 bytes to avoid false positives from these images, remain an equally effective detection shortcut, and ensure a proper SHA1 checksum on repack

This patch should result in a `magiskboot unpack -n boot.img; magiskboot repack boot.img` new-boot.img matching the AIK CHECKSUM above.
- support unpack without decompression to allow easy testing of magiskboot's header, structure and hashing handling by comparing repack checksum versus origbootimg
- make -n first to match repack
Old Qualcomn devices have their own special QC table of DTB to
store device trees. Since patching fstab is now mandatory on Android 10,
and for older devices all early mount devices have to be included into
the fstab in DTBs, patching QCDT is crucial for rooting Android 10
on legacy devices.
Close#1876 (Thanks for getting me aware of this issue!)
- Magisk "dirty" flashes would remove the /overlay directory which might have been put there by a custom kernel or other mod
- this is a leftover from when Magisk itself used /overlay for placing init.magisk.rc, so just remove this file specifically and leave the rest intact
- when input image had a compressed ramdisk magiskboot had no way to force the repack with the uncompressed ramdisk.cpio since it does not formally recognize cpio as its own format, so add a switch to support forcing repacking to any possible ramdisk format regardless of input image
