rmodule: add 16 bytes of padding
There is a plan to utlize rmodules for loading ramstage as a
relocatable module. However, the rmodule header may change.
In order to provide some wiggle room for changing the contents
of the rmodule header add some padding. This won't stop the need
for coordinating properly between the romstage loader that may be
in readonly flash and rmodule header fields. But it will provide
for a way to make certain assumptions about alignment of the
rmodule's program when the rmodule is compressed in the flash.
