Add a "Checksum Verification" section describing both mechanisms used by "partup install": the optional MD5/SHA256 verification of input files before writing, and the automatic SHA1 read-back verification of raw data after writing. State which write types are covered and which are not, and expand the --skip-checksums description accordingly. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de>
Describe that md5sum and sha256sum are checked before writing, and that the SHA1 verification reads the written data back from the device, including both eMMC boot partitions. Fix the option name to --skip-checksums and cross-reference the new usage section. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de>
Extend the checksum feature bullet with the automatic SHA1 read-back verification of written raw data. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwan <m.schwan@phytec.de>

Explain when checksums are verified during a
partup installcommand and consolidate the documentation in that regard.
