mkimg: Ensure GPT Entry Array is at least 16k

Description

mkimg: Ensure GPT Entry Array is at least 16k

UEFI v2.10 Section 5.3 documentes that the minimum reserved space after
the GPT header be at least 16kB. Enforce this minimum. Before, we'd only
set the number of entries to be the unpadded size. gpart's selective
enforcement of aspects of the GPT standard meant that these images would
work, but couldn't be changed (to add a partition or grow the size of a
partition). This ensures that gpart's overly picky standards don't cause
problems for people wishing to, for example, resize release images.
