fw_env: autodetect NAND erase size and env sectors
As already done for NOR chips, if device ESIZE and ENVSECTORS static configurations are both zero, then autodetect them at runtime.

@@ -58,6 +58,9 @@ DEVICEx_ENVSECTORS defines the number of sectors that may be used for
this environment instance. On NAND this is used to limit the range
within which bad blocks are skipped, on NOR it is not used.
+If DEVICEx_ESIZE and DEVICEx_ENVSECTORS are both zero, then a runtime
+detection is attempted for NOR and NAND mtd types.

To prevent losing changes to the environment and to prevent confusing the MTD
drivers, a lock file at /run/fw_printenv.lock is used to serialize access
to the environment.
