[U-Boot] [PATCH] env_nand.c: support falling back to redundant env when writing

Without this patch, when the currently chosen environment to be written
has bad blocks, saveenv fails completely. Instead, when there is
redundant environment fall back to the other copy. Environment reading
needs no adjustment, as the fallback logic for incomplete writes applies
to this case as well.

Changes since V1:
- Print status message for each of the redundant copies when writing, so
  the error message for any first failed attempt does not confuse that
  much.

Changes since V2:
- Checkpatch-compliance:
  - do not typedef struct env_location
  - avoid assignments in conditionals
  - some minor formatting corrections
- make location array static const

Changes since V3:
- constify field 'erase_opts' in struct env_location, no need to assign
  to it at run-time
- drop unnecessary field 'offset' in struct env_location
- function 'erase_and_write_env' must take passed struct env_location as
  const
- declare a global var 'env_flags' only if CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
  defined
- warn if first attempt to write env failed
