    Similarly to the patch in r1647 this one updates the chips identified as above
    with references to and data about their respective twins. Unlike previously this
    one deals with the more evil details.
    
    Helge Wagner from GE discovered some problems with chips sharing IDs
    and proposed a patch to tackle (some of) them, see:
    http://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/3709/
    That patch was bitrotting in our mailboxes for a long time and it is still not
    ready for merge, but we increasingly get reports about problems (e.g.
    http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=1525
    
    ) regarding these chips and
    hence must act to ensure users' safety.
    
    This patch splits the chip definitions of evil twins into separate ones which
    correctly declare the respective attributes (the main problems are the erase
    block sizes for the 0x20 opcode and hence my changes combine different
    chips with partly different attributes apart from their names as long as the
    erasers layout it the same). This forces the user to select the (right) chip
    definition with the -c/--chip parameter and hence will break a number of
    previously perfectly working environments.
    
    0x2015 is used by and split to
     - MX25L1605 (64kB sectors in 0x20 erases)
     - MX25L1605A/MX25L1606E (4kB in 0x20 erases and an additional 0x52 opcode with 64kB blocks)
     - MX25L1605D/MX25L1608D (4k sectors in 0x20 erases)
    
    0x2016 is used by and split to
     - MX25L3205/MX25L3205A (64kB 0x20)
     - MX25L3205D/MX25L3208D (4kB 0x20)
     - MX25L3206E (4k 0x20, 64k 0x52)
    
    0x2017 is used by and split to
     - MX25L6405/MX25L6405D (64k 0x20)
     - MX25L6406E/MX25L6436E (4k 0x20)
     - MX25L6445E (4k 0x20, 64k 0x52)
    
    Bonus: add some minor details to MX25L1635D, MX25L1635E, MX25L3235D,
    MX25L12805D.
    
    Tested with MX25L3206E, MX25L64036E.
