ubi: Add "skipcheck" command to set/clear this bit in the UBI volume hdr

Browse Source 
U-Boot now supports the "skip_check" flag to optionally skip the CRC
check at open time. Currently its only possible to set this bit upon
UBI volume creation. But it might be very useful to also set this bit
on already installed systems (e.g. field upgrade) to make also use of
the boot-time decrease on those systems.

This patch now adds a new "ubi" command "ubi skipcheck" to set or clear
this bit in the UBI volume header:

=> ubi skipcheck rootfs0 on
Setting skip_check on volume rootfs0

BTW: This saves approx. 10 seconds Linux bootup time on a MT7688 based
target with 128MiB of SPI NAND.

Usage of the UBI CRC skip-check flag of static volumes:
-------------------------------------------------------
Some users of static UBI volumes implement their own integrity check,
thus making the volume CRC check done at open time useless. For
instance, this is the case when one use the ubiblock + dm-verity +
squashfs combination, where dm-verity already checks integrity of the
block device but this time at the block granularity instead of verifying
the whole volume.
Skipping this test drastically improves the boot-time.
U-Boot now supports the "skip_check" flag to optionally skip the CRC
check at open time.
Usage: Case A - Upon UBI volume creation:
You can optionally add "--skipcheck" to the "ubi create" command:
ubi create[vol] volume [size] [type] [id] [--skipcheck]
- create volume name with size ('-' for maximum available size)
Usage: Case B - With an already existing UBI volume:
Use the "ubi skipcheck" command:
ubi skipcheck volume on/off - Set or clear skip_check flag in volume header
Example:
=> ubi skipcheck rootfs0 on
Setting skip_check on volume rootfs0
BTW: This saves approx. 10 seconds Linux bootup time on a MT7688 based
target with 128MiB of SPI NAND.
