    util/cbfstool: Improve heuristic for cbfs header pointer protection
    
    cbfstool has a routine to deal with old images that may encourage it to
    overwrite the master header. That routine is triggered for
    "cbfstool add-master-header" prepared images even though these are not
    at risk, and - worse - destroys the chain structure (through a negative
    file length), so avoid touching such images.
