Ian Wienand 5492843aa8 block-device-efi : expand disk size calculation
As noted in the change, 7fd52ba841
increased the size of the EFI partition considerably.  This has meant
that our padding upwards of the disk size is insufficient and EFI
builds (arm64 in particular) is failing due to out-of-disk errors
during final image operations like installing kernels.

Similar to the discussion we had in
I65fa13a088eecdfe61636678578577ea2cfb3c0c, this feels a bit ugly
because we're mixing logic here with sizes specified in block-device
config files.  But it boils down to the same problem; we are
calculating the disk size here and passing it to the block-layer, so
unless we want to make large changes to the status quo about where
these sizes are calculated, small adjustments here are the most KISS
solution.

Thus we check if we have selected the EFI bootloader element, and thus
assume there will be a large system EFI partition and expand the disk
size accordingly.

When using the ``block-device-efi`` element to create an EFI based
system (most notably, with ARM64), the final disk size is now
expanded for the 512MiB system EFI partition introduced with 2.24.0
