cmd_nand: add nand write.trimffs command
Add another nand write. variant, trimffs. This command will request of nand_write_skip_bad() that all trailing all-0xff pages will be dropped from eraseblocks when they are written to flash as-per the reccommended behaviour of the UBI FAQ [1]. The function that implements this timming is the drop_ffs() function by Artem Bityutskiy, ported from the mtd-utils tree.
