Such blocks may be incorrectly treated as empty (even though they may
have non-erase OOB). Warn about it so people may start useing
--skip-all-ffs .

- Remove "install tests" configure option, we already have an option
whether to build tests or not. Don't try to work around autotools
semantics that people building the package expect.
- Fix the installation path by propperly defining it and using the
correct name for the libexec path.

Throughout the Automake files, there is a consistent pattern somewhat
like this:
FOO_BINS = ....
sbin_PROGRAMS += $(FOO_BINS)
This commit all such patterns whenever the variable is not used anywhere
else and appends to the target directly.

This commit removes the C header files from the EXTRA_DIST variables
and instead assigns them to the SOURCE variable of the respective
components they belong to.
This takes care of having them distributed in the release tar ball and
helps with dependency tracking a little.

The nandflipbits tool is intended to be used when one need to flip one or
several specific bits on a NAND media.
It can be useful to manually recover from an unexpected bit flip on a flash
device, though the main purpose of this tool is to provide a way to test
ECC algorithms robustness.
One typical example I used this tool for is testing HW ECC engines behavior
when bitflips occur in an erased page: most HW engines do not correctly
handle this case, because, most of the time, ECC bits generated for an
empty page are not all 1s, and, empty page detection embedded in such
engines is only validating that all bits are set to 1s (which is not true
when a bit-flip has occurred).
Another use of this tool is replacing nandbiterrs test which
absolutely do not work with MLC-like chips because of the rewriting of
the pages in raw mode to toggle ones into zeroes.

Some temporary buffers are allocated with "sizeof(pointer) * count" as
size argument, which cannot possibly be correct.
Assuming what was meant was "sizeof(pointer[0]) * count" makes sense
in the context of how the buffers are used, but is actually pretty
pointless, since the buffers are unsigend char.

Many tools open a file descriptor, close it a the end and have some
form of error path in between that jumps to the end.
In some cases, if opening the file fails the error path is taken and
the utility ends up closing one or more invalid file descriptors. It's
technically not a real issue but something that pretty much any static
analysis tool barks at.

For some command line flags, the argument string is copied. Simply
writing over the buffer leads to a resource leak if the same flag
is specified on the command line more than once.
This patch adds a free() call to the old buffer before overwriting
it with the new copy.

Now that C++17 introduced a special fallthrough keyword for
explicitly tagging switch cases that are supposed to fall
through, newer gcc versions also implement a feature request
from 2002 to warn about maybe unwanted fall-throughs in switch
cases in other languages (like C).
For C code, we can either add a gcc specific attribute at the
end of the switch case, or use a special comment that gcc checks
for, indicating that the fall-through behaviour is indeed
intended.
This patch adds a "/* fall-through */" comment at the end of
various case blocks to silence gcc warnings and in some cases
a break, where fall-through was probably not intended.

A common pattern in command line processing is having a usage()
function that prints out how to use the command line options and
then terminates.
The function is typically used inside a switch block for command
line options like `-h' or unknown options. In a lot of places, the
break keyword is omitted, because the function exits anyway. However,
this triggers gcc warnings about implicit fall-through.
Rather than adding a phony "/* fall-through */" this patch flags the
usage() style function with a gcc attribute, indicating that they do
not return and removes further superfluous break statements.

This patch eliminates warnings generated by the -Wmissing-prototypes
option. With this flag set, we are now forced to have prototypes for
all global, exported functions, that have to be made visible to the
definitions and we are forced to mark all local functions as static.

The --skip-bad-blocks-to-start option will increase the start address by
the size of each bad block encountered between the start of the partition
and the specified start address.
This can be useful if other readers of the partition will be reading using
a simple bad-block-skipping algorithm.

JFFS2 supports clustering erase blocks to virtual erase blocks.
nandwrite supports this, but previously mixed up virtual and
physical erase block numbers when checking for bad blocks.
This patch adds a function for checking if a virtual erase block
is bad and replaces the broken mtd_is_bad loop.

This patch makes sure that a virtual erase block is always
composed of a postivie number of erase blocks (i.e. 1 or more)
and enforces the block alignment to be a power of two as
suggested by the help text and assumed throughout the program.

Several tools are simply not checking return code of functions marked
with 'warn_unused_result'.
Provide wrappers for the read/write functions to avoid patching old
code and providing proper error handling.
Fix the remaining ones (calls to fgets() and system()).

When a program does sophisticated enough command line processing
(i.e. getopt), make sure it responds to -V and --version.
When a program prints a version string, make sure it uses the
common_print_version macro to print out its name, that it is part
of mtd-utils and the mtd-utils version from the build system in a
fashion similar to common program packages like the GNU coreutils.
When a program responds to -V/--version or -h/--help, make sure it
reports success exit status.

This patch is largely based on Richards original RFC.
The major differences to the RFC patch are:
- Add missing sumtools & mtdpart targets
- Fix name of mkfs.jffs2 target
- Add missing subdir-objects option for non-recursive make
- Move all automake options to configure.ac
- Add manpages to install target
- Make XATTR & LZO support configurable
- Install binaries to sbin directory like in the old build system
- Install flash_erase wrapper script
- Add files missing from distribution target

Errors may happen, it's e.g. easy on embedded devices to run out of space
when dumping big partitions. This patch adds a helper function for
writing. It deals with partial writes and just returns 0 on success or
error number.
The old code didn't check for errors at all which could result in
incomplete dumps without exiting with an error.

nanddump was always writing a whole page of data into the output
discarding the length actually requested. This patch allows to
write only the remaining length if oob is omitted. In case oob
is needed, it makes sense to copy the entire page.

* There is no code modification in this commit, only moving
* the files to proper place.
The user tools looks a little messy as we place almost
the all tools in the root directory of mtd-utils. To make
it more clear, I propose to introduce the following structure
for our source code.
mtd-utils/
|-- lib
|-- include
|-- misc-utils
|-- jffsX-utils
|-- nand-utils
|-- nor-utils
|-- ubi-utils
|-- ubifs-utils
`-- tests
