hexout versus jic delta in arria V epcs128

I had a similar problem with generating hex files for Cyclone V remote update. My update logic which was used with Cyclone III before depends on checking the image header checksum which simply didn't work with Cyclone V hexout due to format changes. My solution was to convert the jic file to hex. The source is appended "as is". It extracts the hex file from a production image jic ant that uses a non-zero start address by default.
