[Bug 2115811] [NEW] Increase the default imagesize in CPC's disk-image binary

[Chloé Smith]

Public bug reported:

CPC's download and GCE base questing images are failing with a `No space
left on device` error when the binary hits `grub-install`.

This implies that the livecd-rootfs default of 2.2GB is now just a bit
too small. `grub-pc` && `grub2-common` don't seem to have exploded in
size, so it's probably just the culmination of all the packages
increasing in size gradually.

I successfully built a GCE image with the default increased to 2.5GB -
and the output of `df` just before the `grub-install` was interesting:

```
+ chroot mountpoint df --all --human-readable --print-type
Filesystem     Type        Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop3p1   ext4        2.4G  2.1G  310M  88% /

none           tmpfs       7.9G   97M  7.8G   2% /var/cache/apt
+ chroot mountpoint grub-install /dev/loop3
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
```

as it does indeed imply that we were just skirting the ceiling of 2.2GB
until now.
