ubifs: introduce UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT to ubifs

To make ubifs support atime flexily, this commit introduces
a Kconfig option named as UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT.

With UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=n:
	ubifs keeps the full compatibility to no_atime from
the start of ubifs.

=================UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=n=======================
-o - no atime
-o atime - no atime
-o noatime - no atime
-o relatime - no atime
-o strictatime - no atime
-o lazyatime - no atime

With UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=y:
	ubifs supports the atime same with other main stream
file systems.
=================UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=y=======================
-o - default behavior (relatime currently)
-o atime - atime support
-o noatime - no atime support
-o relatime - relative atime support
-o strictatime - strict atime support
-o lazyatime - lazy atime support

+	  Originally UBIFS did not support atime, because it looked like a bad idea due
+	  increased flash wear. This option adds atime support and it is disabled by default
+	  to preserve the old behavior. If you enable this option, UBIFS starts updating atime,
+	  which means that file-system read operations will cause writes (inode atime
+	  updates). This may affect file-system performance and increase flash device wear,
+	  so be careful. How often atime is updated depends on the selected strategy:
+	  strictatime is the "heavy", relatime is "lighter", etc.
+
+	  If unsure, say 'N'
