The VID header offset is sometimes needed to initialize the UBI
partition. This patch adds it (optionally) to the command line
for the ubi part command.

Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many
commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis
line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong,
but not helpful either.
Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this
partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help"
messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective)
were actually redundant.
This patch cleans this up - for example:
Before:
=> help dtt
dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat.
After:
=> help dtt
dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt

This patch removes the now unnecessary flash type parameter from the
"ubi part" command. Currently the user has to define the type of flash
he will be using UBI on. Example:
=> ubi part nor partition1
With this patch this type parameter is not needed anymore. The user can
now select the partition directly without the flash type paramter.
Example:
=> ubi part partition1
This breaks backward compatibility right now because of the change in the
command syntax. But UBI support is still quite fresh and the advantage of
this new command is syntax big enough for this change. Additionally the
code is much cleaner now.

On platforms with multiple NOR chips, currently only the first one
can be selected using the "ubi part" command. This patch fixes this
problem by using different names for the NOR "mtd devices".
It also changes the name of the NOR MTD device from "cfi-mtd" to
"norX" (X indexing the device numer) to better match the mtdparts
defaults.

Remove command name from all command "usage" fields and update
common/command.c to display "name - usage" instead of
just "usage". Also remove newlines from command usage fields.

With this patch we set the type back to NONE upon failing UBI partition
initialization. Otherwise further calls to the UBI subsystem would try
to really access the non-existing UBI partition.
Thanks to Michael Lawnick for pointing this out.

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

Currently the size parameters of the UBI commands (e.g. "ubi write") are
decoded as decimal instead of hex as default. This patch now interprets
all these values consistantly as hex, as all other standard U-Boot commands
do.
