From: Sean Anderson <sean.anderson@seco.com>

If the source image's size is not aligned to the sparse image's block
size, then conversion will fail with

img2simg: libsparse/sparse.cpp:133: int write_all_blocks(sparse_file*, output_file*): Assertion `pad >= 0' failed.

This is a bug in img2simg, but an easy way to work around it is to pad
the source image ourselves. The default block size of 4096 matches
img2simg's default block size.

This change corresponds to upstream fb331cb62eafd1e534dee292525084ccee0ef3e1
