Florian Klink 079de14fd3 nixos/make-ext4-fs: increase fudge factor from 1.03 to 1.10
Turns out, on smaller images (~800MiB uncompressed sdcard image size),
the current fudge factor is way too small to even get the system to the
phase where it can resize itself.

I first tried with 1.05, but it wasn't enough.
