The NOR infrastructure caches some per-sector state, but
it's not used much ... because the cache is not trustworthy.
This patch addresses one part of that problem, by ensuring
that state cached by NOR drivers gets invalidated once we
resume the target -- since targets may then modify sectors.
Now if we see sector protection or erase status marked as
anything other than "unknown", we should be able to rely
on that as being accurate. (That is ... if we assume the
drivers initialize and update this state correctly.)
Another part of that problem is that the cached state isn't
much used (being unreliable, it would have been unsafe).
Those issues can be addressed in later patches.

Add a NOR flash mechanism where erase_address ranges can be padded
out to sector boundaries, triggering a diagnostic:
> flash erase_address 0x0001f980 16
address range 0x0001f980 .. 0x0001f98f is not sector-aligned
Command handler execution failed
in procedure 'flash' called at file "command.c", line 647
called at file "command.c", line 361
>
> flash erase_address pad 0x0001f980 16
Adding extra erase range, 0x0001f800 to 0x0001f97f
Adding extra erase range, 0x0001f990 to 0x0001fbff
erased address 0x0001f980 (length 16) in 0.095975s (0.163 kb/s)

This addresses what would otherwise be something of a functional
regression. An earlier version of the interface had a dangerous
problem: it would silently erase data outside the range it was
told to erase. Fixing that bug turned up some folk who relied on
that unsafe behavior. (The classic problem with interface bugs!)
Now they can get that behavior again. If they really need it,
just specify "pad".

Add file comments to a few files. Make the GDB server use
more conventional (pointer-free) hex digit conversion.

Move the bulk of the flash.h file into flash/nor/core.h, leaving an
empty husk that will be removed in the next patch.
The NOR driver structure is an implementation detail, so move it into
its own private header file <flash/nor/driver.h> along with helper
declaration for finding them by name.

The newly moved flash TCL routines access the internals of the module
too much. Fix the layering issues by adding new core NOR flash APIs:
<flash/nor/core.h>:
- flash_driver_find_by_name() - self-descriptive
<flash/nor/imp.h>:
- flash_bank_add() - encapsulates adding banks to bank list
- flash_bank_list() - encapsulates retreiving bank list
This allows the externs in flash/nor/imp.h to be removed, and
these mechanisms may now be re-used by other flash module code.
