x86/boot: Add back some padding for the CRC-32 checksum

Browse Source 
Even though no uses of the bzImage CRC-32 checksum are known, ensure
that the last 4 bytes of the image are unused zero bytes, so that the
checksum can be generated post-build if needed.

[ mingo: Added the 'obsolete' qualifier to the comment. ]
