This patch removes the old feature-removal-schedule.txt file from
mtd-utils, mostly for reasons similar to the ones that lead to the
decision of removing the feature-removal-schedule.txt from the kernel.
Removing features by itself is rather problematic as there is no
simple way of estimating whether something is being used widley or
not at all. Thus, consensus usually tends towards not removing
features at all.
Even if there is a file anouncing feature removal, users in large
won't read this file _if_ it is even included in distribution
packages. People working on mtd-uils would end up removing features
that _they_ find useless and users would start complaining once
their setups break after they install a new version of mtd-utils.
In conclusion, once introduced, features should not be removed to
begin with and this file is entirely usless.

Remove the -squash-rino-perm mkfs.ubifs option as this was planned. Remove
the corresponding record from the feature-removal-schedule.txt file.

According to feature-removal-schedule, we shouldn't use `-m', since
it relies on a specific device-naming pattern.

According to "feature-removal-schedule," we kill flash_info in favor of

To work as a proper inverse to nandwrite, nanddump must not dump OOB data by
default. This patch prints a warning regarding the future change. We also
suggest using the new flag, `--oob', for transitioning to the next release
with new default behavior.
Note that we are changing `-o' to mean `--oob' in the next release,
similar to `nandwrite -o'. This is a break from previous behavior.

Implement the feature which we planned long time ago - make nanddump
fail if the -s parameter is not NAND page-aligned. Also bump nanddump
version.

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.

nanddump should be consistent with nandwrite, which does not accept non page
aligned start addresses. Thus, non page aligned dumps are useless.
To ease migration only warn for now. Add the plan of making this an error to
feature-removal-schedule.txt.
Tweaked by Artem.
