GPT partitioning support This adds support for a GPT label type to the partitioning code. This is relatively straight-forward translation of the partition config into a sgparted command-line and subsequent call. A unit test is added based on a working GPT/EFI configuration and the fedora-minimal functional test is updated to build a single-partition GPT based using the new block-device-gpt override element. See notes in the sample configuration files about partition requirements and types. Documentation has been updated.

Block Device GPT

Add block-device defaults This moves the block-device default out of the "vm" element and into a selection of other elements. There's "mbr" which retains the status quo. There's an EFI version that has the boot/grub partitions as required. In between there's the GPT only version, which is useful for architectures like power without EFI, but still want possible larger disks using GPT. Change-Id: I4a566a97d073fc0dda0ab2494ac988fe015800a9

This provides a block-device configuration for the ``vm`` element to
get a GPT based single-partition disk.
