In the prior change we added block-device-[mbr|gpt|efi] elements to
create appropriate disk-layouts.
This adds an environment flag to each so the bootloader can install
the right thing. The EFI install path is updated to work with this
(this part a copy of I572937945adbb5adaa5cb09200752e323c2c9531)
We do some basic sanity checking in the block-device elements;
e.g. mbr is not suitable for aarch64, and efi is not suitable for
power.
This updates the bootloader to install EFI where appropriate

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.

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.
