fix(initrd): pad each chained initrd to a 4-byte boundary

Chained initrds were concatenated back to back. Linux only finds a cpio
archive at a 4-byte aligned offset when it unpacks concatenated
initrds, so a compressed initramfs with an odd length followed by
another archive, like a microcode or overlay cpio, failed to unpack.
Pad each initrd with zeros to a 4-byte boundary, as GRUB and
systemd-boot do.
