ubi-utils: Add ubiblock tool
With the addition of block device access to UBI volumes, we now
add a simple userspace tool to access the new ioctls.
Usage of this tool is as simple as it gets:
$ ubiblock --create /dev/ubi0_0
will create a new block device /dev/ubiblock0_0, and
$ ubiblock --remove /dev/ubi0_0
will remove the device.
Artem: slightly changed the header comment.
