[U-Boot] [PATCH] [v3] allow print_size to print large numbers on 32-bit systems

Modify print_size() so that it can accept numbers larger than 4GB on 32-bit
systems.

Add support for display terabyte, petabyte, and exabyte sizes.  Change the
output to use International Electrotechnical Commission binary prefix standard.
