[PATCH v3 2/2] uimage: disable zero page when loading to SDRAM at address 0x0

If the SDRAM is mapped to address 0x0 and an image should be loaded to
to the SDRAM without offset, Barebox would normally trap the access as a
null pointer.

However, since Linux kernel commit cfa7ede20f13 ("arm64: set TEXT_OFFSET
to 0x0 in preparation for removing it entirely") no offset is the
default for arm64. Therefore, copying the image to 0x0 of the SDRAM is
necessary.

Disable the zero page trap for copying an image to address 0x0.

v3:
- none

v2:
- switch to zero_page_memcpy helper function
- read file to temporary buffer before copying to page 0
