[contributing][install] Increase the EFI partition size #888

Increase the EFI partition size from 500 MiB to 1 GiB. This is consistent with a recent change to archinstall. It was increased to allow larger firmware updates to work.

Another reason for the increased partition size is because the boot directory for systemd-boot is the exact same as the EFI directory. That means that the EFI partition is also where the Linux kernel and initramfs images are stored which take up a bit of storage.
