[PATCH 1/1] cmd: ximg: handle Z_BUF_ERROR explicitly in GZIP decompression

When decompressing GZIP-compressed image parts via the `imxtract` command,
explicitly handle the `Z_BUF_ERROR` return value from `gunzip()` to provide
a clearer diagnostic. This error typically indicates that the destination
buffer is too small to hold the uncompressed data.
