Add ubi_leb_map() implementation, it is used in UBIFS linux kernel libs.
This is a preparation for replacing implementation of UBIFS utils with
linux kernel libs.

Calling ubi_update_start() may fail if exclusive access to the UBI
volume cannot be established by the kernel. This is likely to happen if
an UBI volume is updated directly after creation, because current
versions of (systemd-)udevd run their internal 'blkid' also for UBI
volumes as soon as they appear (trying to read the UBIFS UUID).
There are mainly to options for this case:
1. Don't allow udevd to read UBI volumes at all (means loosing
functionatlity)
2. Wait until udevd has finished accessing a new volume (requires
cooperation with udevd)
3. Simply retry after short time in case of EBUSY
For using option 3, the documentation should state that the concrete
error code can be read via errno (this has always been the case since
libubi has been introduced).

The ioctl UBI_IOCATT has been extended with need_resv_pool parameter in
[1].
This parameter is used for deciding whether to reserve PEBs for filling
pool/wl_pool for target ubi device. This parameter will be effective
when fastmap is enabled, which will slow down the frequency of updating
fastmap by filling more free PEBs in pool/wl_pool. See details in [2].

The ioctl UBI_IOCATT has been extended with disable_fm parameter after
[1].
This parameter is used for disabling fastmap for target ubi device.
If 'disable_fm' is set, ubi doesn't create new fastmap even the module
param 'fm_autoconvert' is set, and existed old fastmap will be destroyed
after attaching process.
A simple test case in [2].

libubi.h includes ubi-media.h which was made private in the kernel a
long time ago. There are users of libubi.h, e.g. swupdate, which have to
have ubi-media.h available at build time with this inclusion.
However, libubi.h uses only one symbol from ubi-media.h. Define that symbol
in the header to enable using libubi.h without installing ubi-media.h.
Make up for the transitive symbol use in ubiformat.c by including ubi-media.h.

Now that we have per-UBI volume flags (for instance for skipping CRC
check when opening it) from the Linux header, let's add it to the
ubi_mkvol_request in libubi and assign the flags to ubi_mkvol_req from
the Linux header from ubi_mkvol.

Historically, the mtd-utils and ubi-utils were seperate packages. The
ubi-utils were at some point merged into the mtd-utils. They first
appeared in the release tar-ball in version 1.1.0 in their own
sub-hirarchy with their own buildsystem, readme, documentation, etc.
A lot of the duplicated stuff got centralized/removed over time.
This patch further cleans up the directory hirarchy duplication by
moving common libraries from the ubi-utils/ into the central lib/
and include/ directories in the top directory of the mtd-utils package.
This includes:
- libuib.a & libubigen.a used by the ubi utilities
- libscan.a currently only used by ubiformat
- libiniparser.a used by ubinize
