This moves to a more generic config parser that doesn't have plugins
parsing part of the tree.
I understand why it ended up that way; we have "partitions" key which
has special semantics compared to others keys and there was a desire
to keep it isolated from core tree->graph code. But this isn't really
isolated; you have to reverse-engineer several module-crossing
boundaries, extras classes and repetitive recursive functions.
Ultimately, plugins should have access to the node graph, but not
participate in configuration parsing. This way we ensure that plugins
can't invent new methods of configuration parsing.
Note: unit tests produce the same tree -> graph conversion as the old
method. i.e. this is not intended to have a functional change.

Add a range of unit-testing for configuration parsing, graph
generation and mount-point generation. Unfortunately there's some
global variable hacks, and some stubs, but it's a start.

Block device handling can be somewhat complex - especially
when taking things like md, lvm or encryption into account.
This patch factors out the creation and deletion of the local
loop image device handling into a python library.
The main propose of this patch is to implement the needed
infrastructure. Based on this, more advanced functions can be added.
Example: (advanced) partitioning, LVM, handling different boot
scenarios (BIOS, UEFI, ...), possibility of handling multiple images
(local loop image, iSCSI, physical hard disk, ...), handling of
different filesystems for different partitions / LVs.
