image: improve UBI image sizing on NAND devices
Many NAND devices use a build recipe with "append-ubi | check-size" to
ensure factory images don't exceed the target flash partition size.
However, UBI reserves space for bad block handling and other operational
overhead, and thus 'check-size' can overestimate the space available by
several MB. In practice, this means a failed check is definitely a failure,
while a passing check is only probably a pass.
Improve the situation by teaching 'Build/append-ubi' to check image sizes
while accounting for UBI reserved blocks. Add new device variable NAND_SIZE
and use with existing IMAGE_SIZE to derate the available space. Each UBI
device reserves 20 PEBs per 1024 PEBs of the entire NAND device for bad
blocks, plus an additional 4 PEBs overhead.
Many devices can transparently enable this check by setting NAND_SIZE based
on their flash storage, and may then remove any unneeded 'check-size'.
