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
