Generalize property from MTD partitions schema and introduce property for
block partitions defined in OF.

Partition schema for block devices is a reduced schema of the MTD as
only a few property are supported for it. (reg, label and read-only)

Partitions are partitions. We don't need them defined in both mtd and 
block. Could perhaps move them to bindings/partitions/, but that's not 
really worth it in my opinion. Just use and add to what's in mtd.

Like *all* other 'partitions' nodes, you need a compatible to say what 
kind of partitions you have. It's conceivable that some vendor invented 
their own scheme just like MTD devices.

As I said before, this is just 'fixed-partitions'. If some properties 
aren't supported, that's fine. All the 'align' properties are for 
flashing tools and aren't supported in Linux.
