When setting the size of a partition without indicating the unit, two
problems occur:
- the size is parsed as an integer, not as a string, hence the
configuration parsing fails
- the size parser doesn't recognize the fact that the size has no units
and defaults to 100%
This patch fixes the configuration parsing as well as the size string
parsing.

When a partition doesn't have a minimum size in the partition layout
configuration, it defaults to using 100% of the available space.
This patch fixes this error by setting the minimum partition size to 0
when the attribute has been omitted.

- Use locale "C" for checking filesystem names
- Also check other possibilities and case-insensitive, to
be more forgiving of weird configurations (and localizations)
Due to a computation error when calculating the total drive space and
each partition's last sector, the last partition's last sector was out
of boundaries, leading to an error creating this partition.
This patch fixes the computation algorithm to get rid of this error.

Some code was copied and adapted from PartitionActions.cpp. For full
compliance, it is best to copy the copyright holders list from this file
to PartitionLayout.cpp.

When chosing the "Replace partition" option, free space is not handled
like any partition. In order to apply the custom partition layout in
that case too, we have to modify the code where "replace free space" is
handled.

In some cases where a custom partition layout is used, use of this
layout is mandatory (this can be the case when using a read-only rootfs
which is updated by block-cpying an image file to it).
For these cases, the user must not be able to change the partition
layout, therefore we have to disable manual partitioning.
In order to stay consistent with current behaviour, manual partitioning
is still enabled by default. It will only be disabled if the partition
module's config file contains the corresponding option set to "false".

When choosing "Install alongside another system", the custom partition
layout is applied to the space freed by resizing the selected partition.

This patches add new methods to both PartitionLayout and
PartitionCoreModule classes which apply the partition layout to the
available drive space.
In addition, the partition creation code from PartitioinActions is
removed to call the newly created methods instead, thus applying the
custom partition layout when the "Erase whole disk" and "Replace
partition" choices are selected.

As we move some of the partition creation code away from
PartitionActions, we will need the bytesToSectors function. Rather than
copying it, we export it in the PartitionActions namespace, so that
other classes can use it.

In order to keep the partition layout during calamares' execution, we
add a PartitionLayout object instance to PartitionCoreModule. This class
will therefore be used to initialize the PartitionLayout object and
interact with it thoughout the program's execution.
When no partition layout is present in the config file, we initialize
the layout with a single ext4 partition mounted on '/', as it was
previously done.

In order to use a custom partition layout in the partition module, we
need to write this layout in the module's config file, and store it into
a dedicated object.
As it doesn't look appropriate to extend an existing class with layout
information, we create a new PartitionLayout class, which will be used
to parse the layout from the config file and keep it in memory.

- The noload option prevents journal re-play (so it's an extra-
strong read-only) but is only applicable to ext3 and ext4.
Check the FS type before mounting; other FS types don't
accept -o noload and will fail to mount.
- This only applies to legacy (non-EFI) BIOS systems, and
adds the FlagBoot to whatever is already set for the root
filesystem, and only when autopartitioning the device.

Suggested by aliveafter1000: having a default value, and then
filling in the default in one place it is used and not others,
is weird. Instead of dropping the one use, remove the default
value: partition flags are important enough to be explicit.
