The page_layout API returns pointers to kernel memory and is not
exposed to user mode. This is fine for flash_get_page_count()
and flash_get_page_info APIs since these copy the values, but some
redesign work will be needed to get flash_page_foreach() working in
user mode since we do not want the callback running in a privileged
state.
Due to the way that (even unimplemented) system call prototypes are
generated, the definition of struct flash_pages_info needed to be
moved outside of the #ifdef.

This patch adds a routine which can be used to iterate over all flash
pages on the device.
This can be also done by using flash_get_page_info_by_idx(), but that
would add an unnecessary loop over the layout array for each page.

Added an internal function to obtain the flash page layout in
run-length encoded format. The API is simple and allows the actual
public API implementations to be simple and maintainable.
This feature can be enabled by using the FLASH_PAGE_LAYOUT Kconfig
option. This API is required for the implementation of flash file
system.
Added a public API to get flash page information (size and start offset)
by offset within the flash and by index of the page.
Added a generic implementation of the internal flash_get_page_info API.
Added an additional public API call to get the total count of pages in
the flash memory and its generic implementation.
