mkfs.ubifs: deprecate squash-rino-perm options
As we have planned, make --nosquash-rino-perm option to be the default. Deprecate both options at the same time and print a warning if they are used. Later we can remove them Also, bump mkfs.ubifs version number. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

production. To fix this bug, 2 new options were introduced:
--squash-rino-perm which preserves the old behavior and --nosquash-rino-perm
which makes mkfs.ubifs use the right permissions for the root
-inode. For now --squash-rino-perm is the default, and if neither
---squash-rino-perm nor --nosquash-rino-perm are used, mkfs.ubifs prints a
-warning. This was introduced in mtd-utils-1.4.0 (13 Sep 2010).

-So the plan is (to be done by Artem Bityutskiy):
-
-1. keep the warning for few releases to make sure users start using one of the
- options. Update the mkfs.ubifs documentation at the web site.
-2. make --nosquash-rino-perm to be the default, and remove the warning.
- Update the mkfs.ubifs documentation at the web site.
-3. eventually deprecate both options by:
-3.1 adding a warning to make users stop using them
-3.2 removing both options.

+For a while (releases 1.4.0-1.4.3) --squash-rino-perm was the default, and if
+neither --squash-rino-perm nor --nosquash-rino-perm were used,
+mkfs.ubifs printed a warning. This was introduced in mtd-utils-1.4.0 (13 Sep 2010).
+
+Now we have removed a warning and made --nosquash-rino-perm to be the

+to stop using them.
+
+The further step is to remove both of them.
