vvfat: Fix partition table
Unless parameter ":floppy:" is given, vvfat creates a virtual image
with DOS MBR defining a single partition which holds the FAT file
system. The size of the virtual image depends on the width of the
FAT: 32 MiB (CHS 64, 16, 63) for 12 bit FAT, 504 MiB (CHS 1024, 16,
63) for 16 and 32 bit FAT, leaving (64*16-1)*63 = 64449 and
(1024*16-1)*64 = 1032129 sectors for the partition.
However, it screws up the end of the partition in the MBR:
FAT width param. start CHS end CHS start LBA size
:32: 0,1,1 1023,14,63 63 1032065
:16: 0,1,1 1023,14,55 63 1032057
:12: 0,1,1 63,14,55 63 64377
The actual FAT file system nevertheless assumes the partition has
1032129 or 64449 sectors. Oops.
