[PATCH v2] tools: ensure zeroed padding in external FIT images

Padding the header of an external FIT image is achieved by truncating
the existing temporary FIT file to match the required alignment before
appending image data. Reusing an existing file this way means that the
padding will likely contain a portion of the original data not
overwritten by the new header.

Zero out any data past the end of the new header, and stop at either
the end of the desired padding, or the end of the old FIT file,
whichever comes first.

v2:
  - Use memset() on `fdt` instead of ftruncate() on `fd`, zero only
    the part that will become padding in the new FIT file.
v1: https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2023-August/528213.html

I'm trying to be a bit smart here and only zero out the amount of
padding that we actually need, but no more than the total length of the
old FIT file (not to cross the boundary of the mmaped region).

See v1 for info on how to reproduce the original issue.
