Change the default image size alignment from 128Mb to 2Mb. The guest image size is 48Mb smaller after this change. A custom size aligment can be specified using the new variable IMAGE_SIZE_ALIGNMENT. Using a smaller guest image size is currently significant on AKS-Kata hosts, because the entire image gets copied into guest MAP_PRIVATE pages when using cloud-hypervisor's "--pmem discard_writes=on".

Use virtio-blk for the AKS-Kata Pod VM root storage device. When using "--pmem discard_writes=on" the entire Pod VM image gets copied into the Pod VM memory, thus resulting in higher memory consumption. AKS-CC was already using virtio-blk (not pmem). Signed-off-by: Dan Mihai <[email protected]>
