Use larger block size for normal wipe #39

With dd using the default block size of 512 bytes, the normal wipe can take as long as a full wipe. A block size of 512k (kibibytes) should work with any disk and speeds up the wiping considerably. See https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/issues/38

Closing this as it's fixed in 8979ef1 now.
