mkarchiso: increase the additional free space added to efiboot.img
Less than 1 MiB (but rounded up to one) is needed to account for file and
directory entries, especially when using FAT32. Otherwise the ISO build could stop with:
Disk full
The rest of the increase is to allow more space for adding custom files
after the fact, i.e. when repacking the ISO. E.g. for the purposes of
adding a signed boot loader for Secure Boot or similar. See
