Fix how mkarchiso makes usb image
The current implementation in how partition is created for ext2 img
it looks a bit bad.
This patch makes the partition in more standarized way, respecting
cylinder alignement:
* The size of resulting image will be in cylinder multiple ~8MB.
* Use fdisk instead of sfdisk (sfdisk write some bad information)
* Make the result image in one pass, instead of concatenating.
Also the advantage is that with this can add another partitions
without any issues in the usb-flash-drive with this .img.
For example of current situation:
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda archlinux-avr.toolchain.img -serial stdio
