vbnv: check alignment of nvram in advance
Currently, erase operation only works if the region is sector-aligned. These asserts ensure we can erase the region when it's all used up. Erase operation can be updated to handle unaligned erases by read, update, write-back cycle. However, these asserts will still remain useful in case the adjacent region contains critical data and mis-updating it can cause a critical failure. Additionaly we should write a FAFT test but it's more reliable to catch it here since FAFT can fail in many ways.
