[PATCH v2] erofs-utils: lib: fix 48bit addressing detection for chunk-based format

The 48-bit chunk format flag was being set inside
erofs_blob_write_chunked_file right after erofs_blob_getchunk returns.
At that point chunk->blkaddr is the chunk's offset in the temporary
blob buffer, not the final image address. The real address is only
known after erofs_mkfs_dump_blobs applies remapped_base.

This means the detection was unreliable in both directions: a chunk
whose blob offset looks large but fits in 32-bits after remapping gets
flagged unnecessarily, and worse, a chunk that lands above UINT32_MAX
after remapping may not get flagged at all, producing a corrupt image.

Fix this by introducing erofs_inode_fixup_chunkformat() which walks
the chunk array after remapped_base is finalized and sets the 48-bit
flag if any chunk address exceeds UINT32_MAX. The fixup is called from
erofs_bh_flush_write_inode before erofs_iflush so that the correct
chunkformat is written into the on-disk inode header. Both blob chunks
(remapped_base + chunk->blkaddr) and device chunks (chunk->blkaddr
directly) are handled.
