util/cbfstool: Prevent overflow of 16 bit multiplications 

Considering the following integer multiplication:

    u64 = u16 * u16

What on earth, one might wonder, is the problem with this? Well, due to
C's unfortunately abstruse integer semantics, both u16's are implicitly
converted to int before the multiplication, which cannot hold
all possible values of a u16 * u16. Even worse, after overflow the
intermediate result will be a negative number, which during the
conversion to a u64 will be sign-extended to a huge integer. Not good.

The solution is to manually cast one of the u16 to a u32 or u64, which
are large enough to not have any overflow and will prevent the implicit
conversion. The type of the u64 is preferred, though a u32 is used
instead of size_t, since that can change depending on the platform.
