Ian Wienand 55b479b54f GPT partitioning support
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.

================
Block Device GPT
================
This is an override for the default block-device configuration
provided in the ``vm`` element to get a GPT based single-partition
disk, rather than the default MBR.
Note this provides the extra `BIOS boot partition
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_boot_partition>`__ as required for
non-EFI boot environments.
