Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS.

This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS
keywords from the MTD code.

This also includes code that printed them to the user.

Let's not attempt the abolition of mtd->type until/unless it's properly
thought through. And certainly, let's not do it by halves.

No mtd user should ever check for the device type.  Instead, device features
should be checked by the flags - if at all.
As a first step towards type removal, change MTD_ROM into MTD_GENERIC_TYPE.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
