[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 1/6] fat: write: fix broken write to fragmented files

The code for handing file overwrite incorrectly assumed that the file on
disk is always contiguous. This resulted in corrupting disk structure
every time when write to existing fragmented file happened. Fix this
by adding proper check for cluster discontinuity and adjust chunk size
on each partial write.

This patch partially fixes the issue revealed by the following test
script:

--->8---

Overwritting a discontiguous test file (file0007.raw) no longer causes
corruption to file0003.raw, which's data lies between the chunks of the
test file. The amount of data written to disk is still incorrect, what
causes damage to the file (file0005.raw), which's data lies next to the
test file. This will be fixed by the next patch.

Feel free to prepare a proper sandbox/py_test based tests based on the
provided test scripts.
