Up to now we were able to read/write environment data from/to UBI
volumes only indirectly by gluebi driver. This driver creates NAND MTD
on top of UBI volumes, which is quite a workaroung for this use case.
Add support for direct read/write UBI volumes in order to not use
obsolete gluebi driver.

A negative value for the offset is treated as a backwards offset for
from the end of the device/partition for block devices. This aligns
the behavior of the config file with the syntax of CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET
where the functionality has been introduced with
commit 5c088ee841 ("env_mmc: allow negative CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET").

For example on a raspberry pi the u-boot environment can be
saved in a file on the first VFAT partition.
This example illustrates how to use it with fw_printenv/fw_setenv.

The assumed number of environment sectors (always 1) leads to an
incorrect top_of_range calculation in fw.env.c when a flash device has
an erase block size smaller than the environment data size (number of
environment sectors > 1).
This change updates the default number of environment sectors to at
least cover the size of the environment.
Also corrected a false statement about the number of sectors column in
fw_env.config.

In certain cases, memory device is present as flat file or block device (via
mmc or mtdblock layer). Do not attempt MTD operations against it.

* The sector size for SPI-dataflash (like AT45 flashes) are not always
a power-of-2. So, the sector calculations are rewritten such that it
works for either power-of-2 as any size sectors.
* Make the flash sector size optional in case it is the same value as
the environment size.

Add support for environment in NAND with automatic NOR / NAND recognition,
including unaligned environment, bad-block skipping, redundant environment
copy.

when watchdog is on
* Update baudrate in bd_info when it gets changed
* Add watchdog trigger points while waiting for serial port
(so far only 8xx -- needed on LWMON with 100ms watchdog)
* Improve command line tool to access the U-Boot's environment
(figuration of the utility, using a config file)
