When using a custom partition layout with partition sizes in %, it can
be useful to set an upper limit to the partition size.
For instance, using a 20% size for the `/` partition will create a 24G
partition on a 120GB drive, but a 200GB partition on a 1TB drive, which
is not useful, and could be avoided by setting a maximum partition size.
This commit adds the `maxSize` parameter (with a default value of 100%).

As requested, this commit adds a new configuration option to the
partition.conf file, name `efiSystemPartitionSize`.
When this option is absent, the default size of 300MiB will be used.

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".

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.

- this applies to new partitions; existing documentation erroneously
said this happens with Replace as well,
- follow up on Andrius manual-partition PR with documentation that
manual mode doesn't switch to this FS when editing existing partitions.
Copy the setting into the global storage. Make the EraseDiskPage in the
partition module and the grub and bootloader modules read it from there.
Do not hardcode /boot as the path anymore.
I set the default path to /boot/efi because I think that's the most
common setting. At least Fedora and Debian use that path. But we can
change the default setting if you think I'm wrong, as long as it remains
configurable.
There is no separate setting for efi_directory_firmware anymore. The EFI
firmwares expect that directory to always be in the "EFI" path in the
EFI System Partition. Distributions using /boot/efi actually have that
directory under /boot/efi/EFI.
- until we find a better solution
- efiDirectory should be managed by GlobalStorage
- efiDirectory is needed followed modules: bootloader, grub, partition
