[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 4/4] rockchip: mkimage: update rkimage to support pre-padded payloads

To simplify the creation of AArch64 SPL images for the RK3399, we
use the ENABLE_ARM_SOC_BOOT0_HOOK option and prepend 4 bytes of
padding at the start of the text section. This makes it easy for
mkimage to rewrite this word with the 'RK33' boot magic.

This change brings logic to calculate the header size and allocate
the header back in sync. For the RK3399 we now limit the header to
before the payload (i.e. the 'header0' and the padding up to the
actual image) and overwrite the first word (inserted by the
boot0-hook for this purpose) with the 'RK33' magic in-place.

X-AffectedPlatforms: RK3399-Q7

Changes in v2:
- Change rkimage to overwrite this padding for the RK3399 instead of
  inserting an artificial 'nop'
