From: Malte Schmidt <malte.schm...@weidmueller.com>

Adds features to explicitly write zeros to the start of the
partition. This is useful to overwrite old content like
filesystem signatures which may be re-recognized otherwise.

The new features can be enabled with
'--soucreparams="[fill|size=<N>[S|s|K|k|M|G]][,][bs=<N>[S|s|K|k|M|G]]"'
Conflicting or missing options throw errors.

The features are:
- fill
  Fill the entire partition with zeros. Requires '--fixed-size' option
  to be set.
- size=<N>[S|s|K|k|M|G]
  Set the first N bytes of the partition to zero. Default unit is 'K'.
- bs=<N>[S|s|K|k|M|G]
  Write at most N bytes at a time during source file creation.
  Defaults to '1M'. Default unit is 'K'.
