Improve bad block handling in mkfs.fat:

  • Add option to preserve existing bad blocks when re-formatting existing FAT
  • Add option to call /sbin/badblocks for automatic detection of bad blocks (similar to mke2fs -c) with target block size
  • Use only sector-size unit for all variables; not hardcoded 1024 bytes or 512 bytes
