platform: Fix payload alignment when FW_TEXT_START isn't 2M/4M aligned

The payload for FW_PAYLOAD needs to be placed at a 2M/4M aligned address
(for 64/32 bit systems) and the current makefile uses FW_PAYLOAD_OFFSET
to achieve this. This only works if FW_TEXT_START is already 2M/4M
aligned. Most existing physical/virtual platforms have used a
FW_TEXT_START of 0x0 or 0x80000000, so this hasn't been an issue so far.
If, for example, FW_TEXT_START is 0x80000, the payload would end up
placed at 0x280000 on a 64 bit system, which isn't a 2M aligned
address.

Update the makefile to use FW_PAYLOAD_ALIGN instead. This will ensure
that the address picked for the payload is 2M/4M aligned irrespective of
where FW_TEXT_START is.
