binman: Support shrinking a entry after packing

Sometimes an entry may shrink after it has already been packed. In that
case we must repack the items. Of course it is always possible to just
leave the entry at its original size and waste space at the end. This is
what binman does by default, since there is the possibility of the entry
changing size every time binman calculates its contents, thus causing a
loop.
