mtd-utils: Add nand flash bit errors test

Basically a user space port of the mtd speed test kernel module.
In addition to the module parameters, the utility can resture
the block contents after test and allows setting the maxium writes
for the test.

+ * Test for multi-bit error recovery on a NAND page. This mostly tests the
+ * ECC controller / driver.
+ *
+ * There are two test modes:
+ *
+ *	0 - artificially inserting bit errors until the ECC fails
+ *	    This is the default method and fairly quick. It should
+ *	    be independent of the quality of the FLASH.
+ *
+ *	1 - re-writing the same pattern repeatedly until the ECC fails.
+ *	    This method relies on the physics of NAND FLASH to eventually
+ *	    generate '0' bits if '1' has been written sufficient times.
+ *	    Depending on the NAND, the first bit errors will appear after
+ *	    1000 or more writes and then will usually snowball, reaching the
+ *	    limits of the ECC quickly.
+ *
+ *	    The test stops after 10000 cycles, should your FLASH be
+ *	    exceptionally good and not generate bit errors before that. Try
+ *	    a different page in that case.
+ *
+ * Please note that neither of these tests will significantly 'use up' any
+ * FLASH endurance. Only a maximum of two erase operations will be performed.
