This patch adds redundant environment for environment in SPI flash.
I took env_flash.c as an example and slightly modified it. Apart
from adapting things to SF, I also slightly changed the decision
logic to use area 2 as a default in case the flags are wrong because
not having a default path worried me.
I did not add a section for CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH in environment.h
because I did not understand if this is desired and/or needed.
So to use the feature, one has to set CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND _and_
CONFIG_SYS_REDUNDAND_ENVIRONMENT.
I checked it by powering off my board several times during flash
erase or write, because I do not know if there are other stress
test scenarios.

The only environment type that uses this variable is spi flash, and that is
only because it is reimplementing the common set_default_env() function.
So fix the spi flash code and kill off the default_environment_size in the
process.

If both CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE are defined, and the sect
size is larger than the env size, then it means the env is embedded in a
block. So we have to save/restore the part of the sector which is not the
environment. Previously, saving the environment in SPI flash in this
setup would probably brick the board as the rest of the sector tends to
contain actual U-Boot data/code.

The CFG_ENV_SIZE is not suitable used for SPI flash erase
sector size if CFG_ENV_SIZE is less than CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE.
Add condition check if CFG_ENV_SIZE is larger than
CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, calculate the right number of sectors for
erasing.

This is pretty incomplete...it doesn't handle reading the environment
before relocation, it doesn't support redundant environment, and it
doesn't support embedded environment. But apart from that, it does
seem to work.
