Good idea.

I tried to keep the existing flags and their current meanings, but you
are right. If we redefine the flags and add NAND_BBT_SCANFIRSTPAGE and
NAND_BBT_SCANFIRST2PAGES this will be much easier to read.

Also maybe renaming the flags to NAND_BBM_XXX would be even cleaner, as
we use them not only for scanning, but also for writing markers and they
are not directly related to the bad block table (BBT)?

By the way, what are your plans for using the common NAND layer (that is
used by the SPI NAND layer) for raw NAND?
I'm thinking of SPI NANDs that might require things like this, too.
Currently they seem to have the markers in the first page only, but that
could change easily and in that case it would be nice to share the code.
