At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and
flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is
a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is
corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers
just fine and goes on.
This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in
real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument
to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()'
not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.

This patch fixes few minor things I've spotted while going through
code:
1. Better document return codes
2. If 'ubifs_scan_a_node()' returns some thing we do not expect,
treat this as an error.
3. Try to do recovery only when 'ubifs_scan()' returns %-EUCLEAN,
not on any error.
4. If empty space starts at a non-aligned address, print a message.

In case of corruptions, dump 8192 bytes instead of 4096. The
largest node is 4096+ bytes, so it is better to see a node
boundary, which is not always possible when only 4096 bytes
are printed.

UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC
check when data nodes are read. This option can be used if
the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable.
Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata.
Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s
to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.
