scripts: Fix size mismatch of kexec_purgatory_size

bin2c is used to create a valid C file out of a binary file where two
symbols will be globally defined: <name> and <name>_size. <name> is
passed as the first parameter of the host binary.

Building using goto-cc reported that the purgatory binary code (the only
current user of this utility) declares kexec_purgatory_size as 'size_t'
where bin2c generate <name>_size to be 'int' so in a 64-bit host where
sizeof(size_t) > sizeof(int) this type mismatch will always yield the
wrong value for big-endian architectures while for little-endian it will
be wrong if the object laid in memory directly after
kexec_purgatory_size contains non-zero value at the time of reading.

This commit changes <name>_size to be size_t instead.

Note:

Another way to fix the problem is to change the type of
kexec_purgatory_size to be 'int' as there's this check in code:
(kexec_purgatory_size <= 0)
