cli_classic: prevent corruption of flash when stdout/stderr is closed
While it's not posixly-correct, it's possible that a user, script, or application may attempt to start flashrom with stdout or stderr closed. It's possible that we'll get a file descriptor of 1 or 2 when opening a flash device (such as Linux MTD), and flashrom will send garbage debug logs to the flash: # bash -c "exec >&- flashrom ..."

While for most applications, closing stdout or stderr would just lead to obsure bugs, for flashrom, we should have extra safety guards, as this could mean that we might be bricking a device instead. Add a basic safety check.
