[U-Boot] [PATCH] 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.
