block/vhdx: fix dynamic VHDX BAT corruption

The corruption occurs when a BAT entry aligned to 4096 bytes is changed.

Specifically, the corruption occurs during the creation of the LOG Data
Descriptor. The incorrect behavior involves copying 4088 bytes from the
original 4096 bytes aligned offset to `tmp[8..4096]` and then copying
the new value for the first BAT entry to the beginning `tmp[0..8]`.
This results in all existing BAT entries inside the 4K region being
incorrectly moved by 8 bytes and the last entry being lost.

This bug did not cause noticeable corruption when only sequentially
writing once to an empty dynamic VHDX (e.g.
using `qemu-img convert -O vhdx -o subformat=dynamic ...`), but it
still resulted in invalid values for the (unused) Sector Bitmap BAT
entries.

Importantly, this corruption would only become noticeable after the
corrupted BAT is re-read from the file.
