This patch introduces stevedore plugin mechanism for use
with the block device layer. This makes it possible that
other projects pass in their own block device plugins.

The stdout of the script is captured, so anything coming out from
these commands needs to be captured. Move to check_process and show
the output as part of an error log in failure case.

The order of the partitions is important, it needs to be preserved.
If using a simple dict, this is not happening. As a consequence,
checks like 'primary partition being first' are failing because the
dictionary sorts the partitions randomly.
Switched to OrderedDict solved the problem, as it preserves the
ordering it gets from the yaml blob.

Now that the main partitioning refactor patch is merged, there is
a small relict of handling partitions still in the disk-image-create
main.
This patch moves the functionality from disk-image-create to the
block-device/partitioning module: it is mostly a rewrite of the
original bash code in python.

In error scenarios there might be no loadable state available.
This patch adds some robustness handling this scenarios
by checking the result and possible bailing out.

With the old configuration structure it was only possible
to use one image and one partition layout. The new
block-device configuration uses a list at top level;
therefore it is possible to use multiple instances
of each element type.

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.

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.
