[U-Boot] [PATCH 5/5] fs/fat/fat_write: Fix management of empty files

Overwriting an empty file not created by U-Boot did not work, and it
could even corrupt the FAT. Moreover, creating empty files or emptying
existing files allocated a cluster, which is not standard.

Fix this by always keeping empty files clusterless as specified by
Microsoft (the start cluster must be set to 0 in the directory entry in
that case), and by supporting overwriting such files.
