mtd: nand: add support for BBT without OOB

The first (sixt) byte in the OOB area contains vendor's bad block
information. During identification of the NAND chip this information is
collected by scanning the complete chip.
The option NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT is used to store this information in a sector so
we don't have to scan the complete flash. Unfortunately the code stores
a marker in order to recognize the BBT in the OOB area. This will fail
if the OOB area is completely used for ECC.
This patch introduces the option NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB which has to be
used with NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT. It will then store BBT on flash without
touching the OOB area. The BBT format on flash remains same except the
first page starts with the recognition pattern followed by the version byte.
This change was tested in nandsim and it looks good so far :)

  * Description:
  *
  * When nand_scan_bbt is called, then it tries to find the bad block table
- * depending on the options in the bbt descriptor(s). If a bbt is found
- * then the contents are read and the memory based bbt is created. If a
- * mirrored bbt is selected then the mirror is searched too and the
- * versions are compared. If the mirror has a greater version number
- * than the mirror bbt is used to build the memory based bbt.
+ * depending on the options in the BBT descriptor(s). If no flash based BBT

+ * Once a new bad block is discovered then the "factory" information is updated
+ * on the device.
+ * If a flash based BBT is specified then the function first tries to find the

+ * based BBT is created. If a mirrored BBT is selected then the mirror is
+ * searched too and the versions are compared. If the mirror has a greater
+ * version number than the mirror BBT is used to build the memory based BBT.
  * If the tables are not versioned, then we "or" the bad block information.
