FS#11118 - Reduce the number of cached sector in the fat driver

This patch reduces the number of cached sector in the fat_dir structure because it's useless.
It requires a nearly complete rewrite of fat_getnext.
At the same time, I made it check more things about LFN entries:
* last long entry attribute in the first entry
* ordinal are all present and decreasing
I could also implement checkuming but I I fear that not all fat drivers implement it.

Please review and test it !

Amaury, I have tested it on my Nano2G and Sansa Fuze and I have no noticeable differences.

Rockbox starts fine, playing music and a random selection of plugins work.

New patch, mostly cosmetics.

But why is it useless? A cache ought to be useful for HD-based targets, even if it is useless for flash-based targets…

Only the most recently read sector in the cache is ever reused (the structure of FAT directories guarantees it). Keeping the other two sectors around has *zero* benefit, on any target.

New patch. I fixed a potential buffer overflow and several other things :)
I tested it to the limit and it works correctly.
