fish: Increase default size of prepared disks (-N) to 1G.

Browse Source 
The guestfish prepared disks (-N option) all defaulted to 100M.  This
has always been too small for btrfs (so for example ‘-N fs:btrfs’ has
failed for a long time), and can be too small for LVs with new LVM2 /
kernel >= 4.16.

This changes the default from 100M to 1G.  The beginning of the 1.39
branch seems like a good time to make this change.
