library:util_pad: Initial version

Data to DMA/system memory must be presented in widths of multiple of 8 bits,
however this padding is not optimal if is done in the transport layer
since this will affect the DAC/ADC FIFO or offload storage.

This utility block adds or removes padding from sample stream in case the
sample with is not multiple of 8 bits, and can be placed between the DMA
and FIFO/Offload blocks.
