tools: rename intel_bios_reader to intel_vbt_decode
After all these years intel_bios_reader and intel_bios_dumper still
manage to confuse me. Read or dump, which one decodes. Rename
intel_bios_reader to intel_vbt_decode to be in line with the naming of
all the other tools (particularly the closely related
intel_opregion_decode tool) that decode previously gathered or dumped
information.
