[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 2/2] sunxi: binman: Add U-Boot binary size check

The U-Boot binary may trip over its actual allocated size in the storage.
In such a case, the environment will not be readable anymore (because
corrupted when the new image was flashed), and any attempt at using saveenv
to reconstruct the environment will result in a corrupted U-Boot binary.
