Generic partition creation interface.
This commit introduces a generic partition creation interface
which should be future-proof and extensible, and partially
replaces the old sfdisk-based interface.
The implementation is based on parted but is hopefully not too
dependent on the particulars of parted.
The following new calls are introduced:
guestfs_part_init:
Initialize a disk with a partition table. Unlike the sfdisk-
based interface, we also support GPT and other partition
types, which is essential to scale to devices larger than 2TB.
guestfs_part_add: Add a partition to an existing disk.
guestfs_part_disk:
Convenience function which combines part_init & part_add,
creating a single partition that covers the whole disk.
guestfs_part_set_bootable:
guestfs_part_set_name:
Set various aspects of existing partitions.
guestfs_part_list:
List partitions on a device. This returns a programming-friendly
list of partition structs (in contrast to sfdisk-l which cannot
be parsed).
guestfs_part_get_parttype:
Return the partition table type, eg. "msdos" or "gpt".
The following calls are planned, but not added currently:
guestfs_part_get_bootable
guestfs_part_get_name
guestfs_part_set_type
guestfs_part_get_type
