Even just making minor edits to fcb, warnings are triggered
from Coding Guidelines of the form
Violation to rule 5.7 (Tag name should be unique) tag: fcb
Rename pointer variable names to fcbp.

Add option to disable CRC for fcb entries. This improves the write
throughput significantly at the cost of not detecting corrupted data
in flash. This is beneficial for aplications that needs the extra
write throughput, where error detection is done elsewhere.
Allow the FCB entries in flash to have a valid CRC when CRC is
disabled in the FCB. This allows existing solutions to disable
CRC checking, while keeping the CRC areas intact. Note that this
is a one-way option.

The FCB has been strongly tied to 0xff erased flash devices and this
commit adds support for other erase values.

Previously flash_area structure was the parameter for the callback
function for transferring sector location info.
Now flash_sector is used so relevant flash_area is missing for
the callback.
This patch introduces structure fcb_entry_ctx which incorporates
entries' location and relevant flash area. It is used to pass complete
information to the callback. Additional pointer to the flash_area fcb
speeds up operations.

Prior to this commit: `struct fcb` contained a pointer to an array of
`struct flash_area`. Each entry in the array represented a flash sector
that the fcb comprised.
After commit: `struct fcb` contains a pointer to an array of `struct
flash_sector`, not `struct flash_area`.
Rationale: The FCB needs to know which sectors it occupies for its
rotate operation. However, the `flash_area` type is meant to represent
a collection of sectors, not a single sector. `struct flash_area`
contains information that the fcb does not need (e.g., area ID and
device ID). Furthermore, the flash_map API provides a means of
converting a flash area ID to an array of sectors
(`flash_area_get_sectors()`), but no way to convert to an array of
areas.

Zephyr already supports NFFS as a storage layer, but it might
be a little bit too heavyweight for certain applications in
memory-restricted ICs.
This module is response for need of Lightweight flash storage
capability. FCB is ported form MyNewt as native zephyr module.
