[Bug 1716999] [NEW] installer creates rather small /boot partition

Public bug reported:

The installer (in 16.04 and 17.10) creates a separate /boot partition,
when required, of only 487M. This ends up being rather small when you
using the following equation to estimate a minimal size allowing for
reasonable room for further growth.

(2*(3*kernel + 4*plymouth-carrying initrd + bootloader))
