[PATCH] tools: key2dtsi: Write out modulus and r-squared with the correct length

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka at siemens.com>

Align the implementation to rsa_add_verify_data() by writing the modulus
and r-squared properties with the same length as the key itself. This
fixes signature verification issues when one of the parameters has
leading zeros.

Hans, please validate. I only had a dry run with your test key.
