fs: jffs2: Move SYS_JFFS2_SORT_FRAGMENTS to Kconfig

+ help
+ If you boot from a partition which is mounted writable, and you
+ update your boot environment by replacing single files on that
+ partition, you should also define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_SORT_FRAGMENTS.
+ Scanning the JFFS2 filesystem takes *much* longer with this feature,
+ though. Sorting is done while inserting into the fragment list,
+ which is more or less a bubble sort. That algorithm is known to be
+ O(n^2), thus you should really consider if you can avoid it!
