sd-image.nix: Move the /boot partition up to 8M
Reportedly some ARM boards need some boot code at the start of a SD card that could be larger than a megabyte. Change it to 8M, and while at it reduce the /boot size such that the root partition should now start on a 128M boundary (the flash on SD cards really don't like non-aligned writes these days).
