[PATCH v2 05/23] mtd: spi-nor: winbond: W25Q32JV-Q/N: Add quad page program capability

The benefit is not massive @25MHz, yet it is a supported feature
of the chip which is already handled by a flag, so let's enable it and
earn that little 1% write throughput.
Before:
$ flash_speed /dev/mtd0 -d -c10
eraseblock write speed is 560 KiB/s
page write speed is 540 KiB/s
2 page write speed is 550 KiB/s
After:
eraseblock write speed is 578 KiB/s
page write speed is 557 KiB/s
2 page write speed is 567 KiB/s
The QUAD_PP capability was historically not supported by non-SFDP chips,
so a Winbond wide late hook is added to make sure the capability remains
disabled for them, for backward compatiblity reasons.
