BaseTools/GenFds: unbreak Region.PadBuffer

In its current form, Region.PadBuffer() fills every second byte with 0x20,
the default separator string of Python's string.join():

https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#string.join

This corrupts some firmware because (a) 0x20 never corresponds to any
ErasePolarity, (b) the PadData produced are actually longer than Size.
