wic: use truncate utility to create sparse files
Used truncate instead of dd to create wic images for the following reasons: - dd doesn't preserve sparseness - truncate syntax is much more clear - dd requires additional calculations of the image size in blocks - the way dd was used in the code is not always correct. In some cases it was writing one block to the file which makes it not 100% sparse.
