flash/nor: implement protection blocks of different size than erase sector
Originally flash/nor infrastructure assumed protection blocks identical to erase sectors. This assumption is not valid for many flash types. Driver code fixed the problem either by increasing sector size to size of protection block or by defining more protection block than really existed in device. Both cases had drawbacks. The change retains compatibility with the old driver. Updated driver can set protection blocks table independent of sector table.
