An erase sector sits in a given flash bank and some MCUs have two flash
banks. If trying to erase a range of sectors and that range crosses from
one flash bank into the next, the original implementation of
`flash_erase()` would not handle this case and would do the wrong thing.
This commit changes `flash_erase()` to only erase a single sector, which
sidesteps the need to handle flash-bank-crossing. Most callers of this
function only need to erase a single sector anyway.

This commit makes the low-level flash C functions usable by code other than
flashbdev.c (eg by mboot). Changes in this commit are:
- flash_erase() and flash_write() now return an errno error code, a
negative value on error.
- flash_erase() now automatically locks the flash, as well as unlocking it.
- flash_write() now automatically unlocks the flash, as well as locking it.
- flashbdev.c is modified for the above changes.

This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
