UBI: introduce a new IO return code

This patch introduces the %UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_READ return code for
the I/O level function. We will use this code in order to distinguish
between "corrupted header possibly because this is non-ubi data" and
"corrupted header possibly because of real data corruption and ECC error".

So far this patch does not introduce any functional change, just a
preparation.

This patch is pased on a patch from
