efi_loader: Increase default variable store size to 64KiB
Debian's arm64 UEFI Secure Boot shim makes the EFI variable store run
out of space while mirroring its MOK database to variables. This can be
observed in QEMU like so:
$ tools/buildman/buildman -o build/qemu_arm64 --boards=qemu_arm64 -w
$ cd build/qemu_arm64
$ curl -L -o debian.iso \
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/arm64/iso-cd/debian-12.0.0-arm64-netinst.iso
$ qemu-system-aarch64 \
-nographic -bios u-boot.bin \
-machine virt -cpu cortex-a53 -m 1G -smp 2 \
-drive if=virtio,file=debian.iso,index=0,format=raw,readonly=on,media=cdrom
[...]

Welcome to GRUB!
This would normally be fine as shim would continue to run grubaa64.efi,
but shim's error handling code for this case has a bug [1] that causes a
synchronous abort on at least chromebook_kevin (but apparently not on
QEMU arm64).
Double the default variable store size so the variables fit. There is a
note about this value matching PcdFlashNvStorageVariableSize when
EFI_MM_COMM_TEE is enabled, so keep the old default in that case.
