[Bug 1952916] [NEW] riscv64: ensure reasonable partition alignment

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Public bug reported:

Currently the RISC-V preinstalled server images come with partitions
that are only 1 KiB aligned. Ext4 may use 4 KiB block size. The existing
misalignment leads to decreased performance.

Please, decrease the size of the loader2 partition by 34 512-byte
blocks. This results in 1 MiB alignment of the EFI and root partitions.

The remaining loader2 partition size of close to 4 MiB is still large
enough for U-Boot or a future EDK II.

** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
