Ian Wienand adb0341064 Add block-device defaults
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.

================
Block Device GPT
================
This provides a block-device configuration for the ``vm`` element to
get a GPT based single-partition disk.
Note on x86 this provides the extra `BIOS boot partition
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_boot_partition>`__ as required for
non-EFI boot environments.
