Add flag ADDPART_FLAG_READONLY to allow partition parsers marking a partition to be set read-only. This is needed for the uImage.FIT partition parser added by a follow-up commit: we need to be sure the contents of uImage.FIT sub-images remain unaltered they are validated using a hash within the uImage.FIT structure which also serves as partition table.
