Make the laptop warning less scary if unsure

Telling the user to use "force_I_want_a_brick" if it is not even a
laptop, is a bit over-the-top. Introduce a new laptop parameter
"this_is_not_a_laptop" that allows to force operation, but only if
the detection is not sure.

Corresponding to flashrom svn r1440.
