[PATCH v2 1/3] ARM: i.MX8MP: bbu: fix wrong flash header offset for eMMC boot partition

According to the reference manual of the i.MX8MP, the bootrom expects
the bootloader to sit directly at the start of the eMMC boot partition.

The 32K offset is only valid for eMMC user partitions and SD.
Tell barebox_update about this, so it can strip away the first 32K
when writing to an eMMC boot partition.

v1 -> v2:
  - fix wrong use of flash header offset: This refers to offset in file,
    but we want to change offset on disk. There is a knob for that
    (IMX_BBU_FLAG_PARTITION_STARTS_AT_HEADER), so use that instead

Tested on i.MX8MN.
