Description
We have entry list in the BLKX table, and the entry with kind `entryType == 0xFFFFFFFFU` is supposed to be last.
Currently, we just believe this statement. Let's validate it instead.
See `TODO[#18]` in the code.

Research direction
Locate TODO[#18] in the code and trace how entries in the BLKX table are read. Add validation that the entry with entryType `0xFFFFFFFFU` is last, then run the relevant existing tests or unpacking checks to confirm the ordering violation is detected.
