[iso] increase write buffer size to work around a bug in the AMI UEFI NTFS driver 
* The AMI UEFI NTFS driver (version 0x10000), which is used in many modern systems from
  ASUS, Gigabyte, intel and so on, has a major bug whereas depending on the size of the
  buffers that are used to write the data onto the NTFS volume from Windows, as well as
  read the data from the NTFS volume from UEFI, the data being read may be incorrect
  (for details on this, see https://github.com/pbatard/AmiNtfsBug).
* Especially, it appears that if the size of the buffer used to write data on Windows is
  smaller than the NTFS cluster size, the bug may be triggered.
* Because of this, we increase the size of ISO write buffer to 64 KB since, per
  https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/default-cluster-size-for-ntfs-fat-and-exfat-9772e6f1-e31a-00d7-e18f-73169155af95
  this is the maximum cluster size that can be used for NTFS volumes.
* This increase in size should also help with performance somewhat.
* Also add support for C11's _Static_assert() which may come handy.
