[PATCH v2 4/6] tools: mkfwumdata: Add bank count validation for FWU metadata v2

The FWU metadata specification version 2 supports a maximum of 4 banks.
Add validation to enforce this limit and prevent creation of non-compliant
metadata structures when using version 2.

Without this check, users could inadvertently create invalid metadata by
specifying more than 4 banks, leading to potential compatibility issues
with FWU-compliant firmware update implementations.
