[romprefix] Force PnP header to a 16-byte boundary for IBM BIOSes

IBM BIOSes ignore the PnP header offset stored at address 0x1a and
instead scan for the $PnP signature on a 16-byte boundary.  (This
alignment is not mandated by the PnP specification.)

Force PnP header to a 16-byte boundary to work around these BIOSes.
