Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

UBI: initialise update marker

The in kernel copy of a volume's update marker is not initialised from the
volume table. This means that volumes where an update was unfinnished will
not be treated as "forbidden to use". This is basically that the update
functionality was broken.

The current U-Boot UBI implementation is copied from Linux. In this
porting the UBI background thread was not handled correctly. Upon write
operations ubi_wl_flush() makes sure, that all queued operations, like
page-erase, are completed. But this is missing for read operations.

This patch now makes sure that such operations (like scrubbing upon
bit-flip errors) are not queued, but executed directly.

This patch fixes a build problem noticed on Apollon by using
mtd_dev_by_eb() instead of "/" as done in the Linux UBI version.
So this brings the U-Boot UBI version more in sync with the Linux
version again.

UBI is quite memory greedy and requires at least approx. 512k of malloc
area. This patch adds a compile-time check, so that boards will not
build with less memory reserved for this area (CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN).

With this patch now, the user can call "ubi part" multiple times to
re-connect the UBI device to another MTD partition.

This patch adds basic UBI (Unsorted Block Image) support to U-Boot.
It's based on the Linux UBI version and basically has a "OS"
translation wrapper that defines most Linux specific calls
(spin_lock() etc.) into no-ops. Some source code parts have been
uncommented by "#ifdef UBI_LINUX". This makes it easier to compare
this version with the Linux version and simplifies future UBI
ports/bug-fixes from the Linux version.
