803d40b0c6 Refactor block_device: passing command line parameters
The original approach was to pass each and every command
line parameter to the block device.  While the block device
functionality gets extended, this is not any longer practical.

Instead of passing in all the parameters separately this patch
collects these in a YAML file that is passed in to the block device
layer.

ec7f56c1b2 Refactor: block-device handling (partitioning)
During the creation of a disk image (e.g. for a VM), there is the need
to create, setup, configure and afterwards detach some kind of storage
where the newly installed OS can be copied to or directly installed
in.

This patch implements partitioning handling.

3d48a528c1 Refactor: block-device handling (local loop)
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.
