Align loadable segments to page size in the core file.
Based on https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/elf.5.html:
p_align
This member holds the value to which the segments are
aligned in memory and in the file. Loadable process
segments must have congruent values for p_vaddr and
p_offset, modulo the page size. Values of zero and one
mean no alignment is required. Otherwise, p_align should
be a positive, integral power of two, and p_vaddr should
equal p_offset, modulo p_align.
The loabable segments alignment applies to both the address and the offset in the core file.
Testing output with readelf -l:
Without the padding, the offset of the first section may not be page size aligned, i.e. 0xe00 in the following case:
