When we don't know the sector size of the actual block device, because we're building an image in a loopback file and no sector size was specified explicitly, let's use 4096 as the sector size for filesystems, verity and LUKS. This should be the most compatible option, since 4096 will also work on devices with sector size 512 or 2048. For the actual GPT partition table size, we stick with 512 as the default value since UEFI firmware and the kernel will only try to read the GPT partition table from the first LBA on the device and the sector size for most devices is still 512. It can also be trivially modified when copying the image to another device using --copy-from + --sector-size.
