Julius Werner f0cc7adb2f cbfstool: Ensure attributes always come last in the metadata
In a rare placement edge case when adding a file with alignment
requirements, cbfstool may need to generate a CBFS header that's
slightly larger than it needs to be. The way we do this is by just
increasing the data offset field in the CBFS header until the data falls
to the desired value.

This approach works but it may confuse parsing code in the presence of
CBFS attributes. Normally, the whole area between the attribute offset
and the data offset is filled with valid attributes written back to
back, but when this header expansion occurs the attributes are followed
by some garbage data (usually 0xff). Parsers are resilient against this
but may show unexpected error messages.

This patch solves the problem by moving the attribute offset forwards
together with the data offset, so that the total area used for
attributes doesn't change. Instead, the filename field becomes the
expanded area, which is a closer match to how this worked when it was
originally implemented (before attributes existed) and is less confusing
for parsers since filenames are zero-terminated anyway.
