vboot: Fix potential alignment issue reading FWMPfirmware-candy-5216.310.B

RollbackFwmpRead() assumed that a uint8[] array on the stack would be
aligned sufficiently for typecasting to struct RollbackSpaceFwmp and
accessing its members.

This was true on x86 (where unaligned accesses work fine) and probably
harmless on other platforms (since RollbackSpaceFwmp is
__attribute__(packed).  But it's cleaner to switch to using a union of
the buffer and struct, since that will provide the proper alignment.

BUG=chromium:601492
BRANCH=baytrail and newer platforms
TEST=make -j runtests
