UBI: Add initial support for scatter gather
Adds a new set of functions to deal with scatter gather. ubi_eba_read_leb_sg() will read from a LEB into a scatter gather list. The new data structure struct ubi_sgl will be used within UBI to hold the scatter gather list itself and metadata to have a cursor within the list.
