Bug #21204 ndb_size.pl doesn't take extended BLOB/TEXT size into account

Description:
TEXT/BLOB field sizes are not really taken into account, only a fixed ammount of 256 Bytes per field is added to the results.

This makes the script results more or less meaningless as soon as tables with BLOB or TEXT fields are involved.

How to repeat:
Check the ndb_size.pl source, search for "blob", see the calculation:

The current size calculation for TEXT and BLOB fields looks like this:

 @realsize=(256, 256, 1);

which obviously can't be true.

Suggested fix:
Take the extend sizes for the blob helper tables into account in the calculation.
