ubi-utils: add sysfs interface support and new tool
This large commit makes several things. 1. Switches libmtd to use the new sysfs interface 2. Implements new handy 'mtdinfo' utility 3. Does minore amendmends in libubi and some ubi-tools. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
