Add support for GD25Q256, a 32MiB SPI Nor

Changes in v4:
- add SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK and SPI_NOR_HAS_TB
Between v3 and v4, I see that you've also changed the procedure to the
the Quad Enable bit on all Gigadevice memories with QSPI capabilities.
This is not a detail and should have been reported here.

 Sorry, I will keep this in mind.

Changes in v3:
- rebase on top of spi-nor tree
- add SPI_NOR_4B_OPCODES flag

Changes in v2:
- drop one line unnecessary modification

Here, you've have changed the Quad Enable requirement for *all*
Gigadevice memories with Quad SPI capabilities.

However, I'm reading the GD25Q128 datasheet and it claims that the QE
bit is BIT(1) of the Status Register 2. Hence some
spansion*_quad_enable() should be used, as before your patch.

Then, still according to the datasheet, the GD25Q128 memory is compliant
with the JESD216 specification (minor 0) but neither with rev A (minor
5) nor rev B (minor 6).
So its Basic Flash Parameter Table is limited to 9 DWORDs instead of 16
DWORDs, hence doesn't provide the Quad Enable requirements. It means
that the SFDP tables would not help to select the right _quad_enable()
function by overriding the choice made by the switch() statement above.

tl;dr
This chunk would introduce a regression with some already supported
Gigadevice memories. So I reject this patch, sorry.

After check some other Gigadevice memories, I found it's true as you mentioned.
Some memories use S9 as the QE bit, but some use S6.
Do you have some ideas for this case? Add a check for the full jedec_id or encode
the QE bit in the flash_info?
    I am a new bee in the flash failed, very appreciate for your advice.

Best regards,

Cyrille
