Calling nand_do_upgrade() from platform_pre_upgrade() was obsoleted in
the commit 30f61a34b4 ("base-files: always use staged sysupgrade").
This change brings bcm53xx in sync with other targets and allows
dropping backward compatibility code. It shouldn't change any user
visible behavior.

Since BusyBox 1.25.0 dd command supports iflag=skip_bytes which allows
skipping requested amount of bytes without reducing blocksize. Thanks to
this we can leave default blocksize and let dd work more efficiently.
On Netgear R6250 "dd skip=58 iflag=skip_bytes" can be 5 times faster
than "dd bs=58 skip=1" when extracting TRX out of CHK.

Depending on busybox applet selection, paths of basic utiilties may differ,
and may not work as symlinks to busybox. Simply using whatever binary is
found in PATH and detecting symlinks automatically is more robust and
easier to maintain.
The list of binaries is also slightly cleaned up and duplicates are
removed.

Extracting TRX to separated file in /tmp/ just wastes some RAM while we
can just pass a proper extracting command to the default_do_upgrade.

Extracting full TRX out of vendor format is not needed as otrx supports
passing TRX offset. This saves some RAM during sysupgrade.

In most cases it allows reverting back to the vendor firmware (as they
usually don't use UBI). If users wants to do that we can't do anything
anyway. Erease counters will be just lost. The only thing we do is warn:
"Flashing firmware without UBI for rootfs. All erase counters will be
lost."
It still requires forcing sysupgrade.

We can now detect that provided firmware contains kernel and UBI image
partitions. Flashing it in a sane way (keeping erase counters) still
needs to be implemented.
