updating an ubi partition needs a completely erased mtd partition,

So, add partubi alt setting for the dfu_alt_info environment
variable to mark this partition as an ubi partition. In case we
update an ubi partition, we erase after flashing the image into the
partition, the remaining sektors.

- This patch is also a good starting point to fix up updating ubi, as
we currently use "nand erase" for erasing the sektors. This is
not the prefered way for writing an ubi image, see:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubi.html#L_flash_img
This must be fixed ... we have no "ubiformat" in u-boot, or?
The lack of erase counter preservation is a problem, but the part about
ECC on erased pages is dealt with in U-Boot by the WITH_DROP_FFS flag.
- changes for v2:
- do not use spread = 1 for nand_erase_opts, to prevent
errormessage if there are bad blocks in the erase range.

Instead of separately erasing the remainder of the partition, how about
recognizing up front that it's UBI (or that a full partition erase is
otherwise desired) and erasing the full partition then? Besides being
cleaner, it would be easier to convert to an ubi-aware mechanism.
