NOR: add FIXMEs for writing ones

It can invalidate ECC codes, and in general is not guaranteed
to work.  (However on some chips it _appears_ to behave.)  Just
don't do it; don't write in those cases.

- Don't expect writing all-ones to be a safe way to write without
changing bit values. Minimally it loses on flash modules with
internal ECC, where it may change the ECC.
- NOR flash_write_unlock() does that between sectors
- there may be other cases too

- finish implementing bus width/chip width handling (suggested by NC)
