[DEV][TOOL]Splitting Signed Boot Images - Script

Quick and dirty modified split_bootimg.pl for splitting our signed boot images.

This will strip the first 256bytes (the signature) from the image.

Advice, this will ruin unsigned boot images, if you are not a competent developer leave th alone, if you are competent
make backups before using.
