Previously you might have typed:
$ guestfish
><fs> alloc test1.img 100M
><fs> run
><fs> part-disk /dev/sda mbr
><fs> mkfs ext4 /dev/sda1
now you can do the same with:
$ guestfish -N fs:ext4
Some tests have also been updated to use this new
functionality.

'dd' is a very inefficient way to create files. 'truncate' is
better, but unfortunately that command is not available in RHEL 5.
So use the guestfish 'sparse' command instead (which also avoids
allocating disk space).

guestfs_mount adds -o sync implicitly. This causes a very large
performance problem for write-intensive programs (eg. virt-v2v).
Document this as a "gotcha".
Change the tests, guestfish, Sys::Guestfs::Lib, guestmount to use
mount-options instead.
(Note that this gotcha does not affect mount-ro).
The source of the performance problem was first identified by
Matthew Booth.

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

/bin/sh on Debian is a minimal shell called 'dash' which doesn't
support some features we need such as the particular 'function'
syntax used by regressions/test-stringlist.sh, and therefore
this script was failing on Debian.
Change all of these scripts to use #!/bin/bash explicitly to avoid
these sorts of problems.

Test failure of qemu and recovery of the library:
- mid-command
- between commands
- during launch [test not working yet]
- explicitly killed by guestfs_kill_subprocess
Also this patch cleans up the other tests in this directory
and disables the long-winded test-bootbootboot test.
