S. Lockwood-Childs 34255b92e6 tools: env: Add support for direct read/write UBI volumes
Up to now we were able to read/write environment data from/to UBI
volumes only indirectly by gluebi driver. This driver creates NAND MTD
on top of UBI volumes, which is quite a workaroung for this use case.

Add support for direct read/write UBI volumes in order to not use
obsolete gluebi driver.

# Configuration file for fw_(printenv/setenv) utility.
# Up to two entries are valid, in this case the redundant
# environment sector is assumed present.
# Notice, that the "Number of sectors" is not required on NOR and SPI-dataflash.
# Futhermore, if the Flash sector size is omitted, this value is assumed to
# be the same as the Environment size, which is valid for NOR and SPI-dataflash
# Device offset must be prefixed with 0x to be parsed as a hexadecimal value.
# NOR example
# MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size Number of sectors
