image_builder: Reduce the boundary mb for reducing image size on arm64

Browse Source 
Qemu merely limits the memory-backend-file size to be aligned to page_size
instead of section size(arm64 1GB). Please see file_ram_alloc() in qemu
exec.c. If we use 1024MB, the generated image size will be 3-4 times bigger
than the original one.

After relaxing it, the image size will be changed from 1G to 300M+ on arm64
with Fedora 29 rootfs's default configuration.

I do see there are some different limitation for ram_block on other arches
(e.g. s390x). So gracefully keep other arches unchanged here.

Fixes #404
