efi/arm64: add EFI_KIMG_ALIGN



The EFI stub is intimately coupled with the kernel, and takes advantage
of this by relocating the kernel at a weaker alignment than the
documented boot protocol mandates.

However, it does so by assuming it can align the kernel to the segment
alignment, and assumes that this is 64K. In subsequent patches, we'll
have to consider other details to determine this de-facto alignment
constraint.

This patch adds a new EFI_KIMG_ALIGN definition that will track the
kernel's de-facto alignment requirements. Subsequent patches will modify
this as required.
