7550d25db0 Export die() function
I realised I'd been using die() in a few places assuming it was
available, but it wasn't exported.  I guess it didn't matter because
whatever was wrong, we were failing anyway :)

This exports the function to make it available to sub-processes, which
should remove the need to source it as done in several places.

672705831f Add a best-effort sudo safety check
As motivation for this; we have had two breakouts of dib in recent
memory.  One was a failure to unmount through symlinks in the core
code (I335316019ef948758392b03e91f9869102a472b9) and the other was
removing host keys on the build-system
(Ib01d71ff9415a0ae04d963f6e380aab9ac2260ce).

For the most part, dib runs unprivileged.  Bits of the core code are
hopefully well tested (modulo bugs like the first one!).  We give free
reign inside the chroot (although there is still some potential there
for adverse external affects via bind mounts).  Where we could be a
bit safer (and could have prevented at least the second of these
breakouts) is with some better checking that the "sudo" calls
*outside* the chroot at least looked sane.

This adds a basic check that we're using chroot or image paths when
calling sudo in those parts of elements that run *outside* the chroot.
Various files are updated to accomodate this check; mostly by just
ignoring it for existing code (I have not audited these calls).

Nobody is pretending this type of checking makes dib magically safe,
or removes the issues with it needing to do things as root during the
build.  But this can help find egregious errors like the key removal.

e083686e00 Create new partitioning-sfdisk element.
This element is similar to vm, but allows more flexibility
on disk partitioning. It receives a DIB_PARTITIONING_SFDISK_SCHEMA
setting, allowing to partition the disk according to project needs.
