[PATCH mtd-www] doc/ubi.xml: clarify from the start that block device on UBI is read-only

[Thomas Petazzoni]

In the introduction, the sentence that introduces ubiblock might let
one think that any read/write block filesystem can be used on top of
UBI, which is wrong. So clarify from the start that this is read-only.

The first drafts of ubiblock have been read/write, maybe that's a left over.

Acked-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
