dump-file.py: allow custom size

Browse source 
Files like /proc/kmsg are reported as zero size. It can be useful to
assume a larger size to avoid empty output.

Some devices are locked down and do not support all shell commands. If
you know the size (or just want to try to read 1 byte), then you can
avoid executing shell commands.
