sf: Make 4K sector support configurable

Make the support for 4K subpage I/O on a SPI NOR flash configurable.
A board which requires the SPI NOR to be accessed in larger 32KiB
or 64KiB pages can disable the 4K subpage support, but by default,
the support for 4K subpage I/O is enabled. The functionality of this
option is the same as CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS in Linux.

This is extremely useful in case one uses UBI on a SPI NOR flash.
UBI needs at least 15k EBs and can not work on a flash which uses
4k ones, so disabling the support for 4k subpages lets UBI work on
such flash.

help
Many flash memories support erasing small (4096 B) sectors. Depending
on the usage this feature may provide performance gain in comparison
to erasing whole blocks (32/64 KiB).
Changing a small part of the flash's contents is usually faster with
small sectors. On the other hand erasing should be faster when using
64 KiB block instead of 16 × 4 KiB sectors.
Please note that some tools/drivers/filesystems may not work with
4096 B erase size (e.g. UBIFS requires 15 KiB as a minimum).
