Subject: [PATCH 1/2] e2image: truncate raw image file to correct size

At the end of writing the raw image file, output_meta_data_blocks()
wrote a single zero byte.  Not only does this cause the last block
of the image file to be non sparse, but this was being skipped if
there were no leftover sparse bytes from the main loop.  This would
happen if the source fs happened to have an even multiple of 1MiB
of free blocks at the end, leaving the sparse image file shorter
than it should be.

Instead of writing a null byte, just truncate() the file instead,
whether or not there are any leftover sparse bytes.
