mtd: nand: refactor BB marker detection

Some level of support for various scanning locations was already built in,
but this required clean-up. First, BB marker location cannot be determined
_only_ by the page size. Instead, I implemented some heuristic detection
based on data sheets from various manufacturers (all found in
nand_base.c:nand_get_flash_type()).

Second, once these options were identified, they were not handled properly
by nand_bbt.c:nand_default_bbt(). I updated the static nand_bbt_desc structs
to reflect the need for more combinations of detection. The memory allocation
here probably needs to be done dynamically in the very near future (see next
patches).
