[U-Boot] [patch] replace mkimage.c write() calls with full_write()

[Andrew Cann <shum@canndrew.org>]

This patch adds a function to mkimage.c called full_write() which calls write()
in a loop until all the data has been written or write errors.

I was getting an error with mkimage running out of space on the device it was
writing to, but instead of printing a useful error message it was printing:

    mkimage: Write error on /tmp/flash.img: Success

Which is kinda confusing. It was printing this because write() was writing as
many bytes as it could and then returning success. It needs to be called a
second time to set errno. Also write(fd, data, count) isn't guranteed to write
the full count bytes in one go anyway, so it needs to be called in a loop (that
or use fwrite instead).
