[PATCH 2] mtd/nand, BB detect: factory marker in page 1, 2, last and byte 1 or 6

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 believe there are only 5 combinations
of page location/byte offset, so I updated the nand_bbt_desc structs
accordingly.

I have tested these changes with several chips, but particularly a Micron
29F8G08MAA chip. We use a memory-based, not flash-based, BBT; hence the
edits only to the "memory_based" side of things. Most edits could be
applicable to both, but I can't verify that. For instance, I do not
understand why the small discrepancies between the "memory_based" and
"flash_based" nand_bbt_descr structs.

Finally, please provide any feedback you can. I'm sure there's something
I have overlooked, but I feel this is a step in the right direction.
