The recent change to use loopdev instead of nbd stopped
honoring the DIB_IMAGE_SIZE setting.
This change adds it back, by resizing the image to
DIB_IMAGE_SIZE GB, if specified. If unspecified, it resizes
the image to (actual usage + 20%), as it did before this change.

For machines with low RAM (or no access to /proc/meminfo) the builder
will still run, but will just build inside the filesystem that is
hosting /tmp. This will result in a slower build (especially if there
are a lot of .deb packages installed).
Fixes bug #1175453

Qemu-nbd does not perform well with older versions of qemu due to
the lack of writeback caching mode. It also only builds qcow2 images
and there is a desire for raw image support. Finally, qemu-nbd makes
it very difficult to build images concurrently due to the somewhat
opaque nature of how it selects a /dev/nbd# device. losetup, on
the other hand, makes this process very straight forward.

The element vm is the only one creating a partition in the disk.
If not included, it will ask for sudo password to format or mount
the whole nbd disk or disks with multiple partitions.
