env: Add support for UBI environment

UBI is a better place for the environment on NAND devices because it
handles wear-leveling and bad blocks.

Gluebi is needed in Linux to access the env as an MTD partition.

+- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
+
+	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
+	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
+	accesses, which is important on NAND.

+	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
+
+	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.

+
+	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
+	  environment in.
