    vboot/vbnv_flash: make I/O connection agnostic
    
    There's no need to be SPI specific w.r.t. how the flash is
    connected. Therefore, use the RW boot device to write the
    contents of VBNV. The erasable check was dropped because that
    information isn't available. All regions should be aligned
    accordingly on the platform for the underlying hardware
    implementation. And once the VBNV region fills the erase
    will fail.
