[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] mkimage: fit: spl: Add an optional static offset for external data

When building a FIT with external data (-E), an SPL may require absolute
positioning for executing the external firmware. To acheive this use the
(-p) switch, which will replace the amended 'data-offset' with 'data-position'
indicating the absolute position of external data.
It is considered an error if the requested absolute position overlaps with the
initial data required for the compact FIT.

Changes in v2:
- Add -p argument to mkimage.1
- Add -E, -p arguments to mkimage usage text
- Add notes for static position within uImage.FIT docs
- Rebased onto master
