[romprefix] Round up PMM allocation sizes to nearest 4kB
Some AMI BIOSes apparently break in exciting ways when asked for PMM
allocations for sizes that are not multiples of 4kB.
Fix by rounding up the image source area to the nearest 4kB. (The
temporary decompression area is already rounded up to the nearest
128kB, to facilitate sharing between multiple iPXE ROMs.)
