build system: make CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_BSS_TAIL less funky

CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_BSS_TAIL code was aliasing bb_common_bufsiz1 to _end.
This is unreliable: _end may be not sufficiently aligned.

Change code to simply enlarge COMMON_BUFSIZE when we detect that _end
has significant amount of space to the end of page.
