Revert ubi-tools changes
Restore ubi tools to their "original" state, which means to the state they were before I stareted cleaning them up. Instead, create a "new-utils" subdirectory and move my work there. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

+
+ This module implements a simple dictionary object, i.e. a list
