In some cases, we might want to copy a filesystem as if we were using a
simple 'dd' command, in order to create an exact copy, down to the block
level.
This can be useful in particular when working with dm-verity for
checking the rootfs integrity: that way, we can make a direct copy of
the rootfs and its verity partition and keep the system usable.
This patch adds a new 'rawfs' module to calamares, making possible to
block-copy a filesystem to a block device.

In some cases, e.g. when calamares is used as an "initial setup" tool,
we may want to user to go through all the configuration steps in order
to end up with a usable system.
Therefore, disabling the "Cancel" button can be useful in this case.
This commit adds an option to settings.conf which disables this button
when set to "true". If the option is not present in the settings file,
the default behavior ("Cancel" button enabled & visible) is enforced.

- A size of 64em has a value less than 1024, which is the minimum
size **in pixels**. The check doesn't make sense as-is and would
have to take the unit into account. Leave that to clients of
branding (e.g. CalamaresWindow, which already does this).
Keeping std::initializer_list around is fraught. Causes segfaults
because I'm not keeping the underlying temporary array around
properly. Switch to vectors because those initialize from the
underlying array.
TODO: look into making this sufficiently constexpr -- perhaps
just use std::array and make find() work on that.
For (all?) those cases where we have configuration with
a value followed by a unit, introduce a class that
uses the NamedEnum properties to make parsing and split-up easier.
- Use locale "C" for checking filesystem names
- Also check other possibilities and case-insensitive, to
be more forgiving of weird configurations (and localizations)
- The language and BCP need to be in-sync
- Existing code was inconsistent in setting things, which is why
you could get through the locale page without setting a locale
(at all) or it would keep English in spite of picking Germand on
the welcome page.
- Patch tests to use that API.
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.

- Allow split-setting of the language and formats
- Test new constructors
- Since fromLanguageAndLocation can handle empty localeGen
lists just fine, skip all the weird checks that return
invalid guessed locale configurations.
- Replace createDefault() with a constructor that takes a
locale name; use it with en_US.UTF-8 in those places where
createDefault was previously used.
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.

This basically means we talk about localization in the respective
localized variant. e.g. "German (Germany)" ➡ "Deutsch (Deutschland)".
If geoip lookup failed or isn't configured for whatever reason it's a
stretch to expect the user to know english enough to find their own
language. Preferring the localized strings resolves this issue.
Additionally this happens to bypass #712 respectively
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-34287
as the native names are properly spelled. So, as long as Qt has localized
names the names will also be properly spelled.
- If a key is missing from mount.conf, don't raise KeyError
- If both keys are missing, suggest that mount.conf might
be missing instead (a consequence of INSTALL_CONFIG=OFF, for
instance).
- Simplify code a bit.
- Don't bother returning None explicitly.
- for remove and localInstall, add support for pre- and post-
scripts like there already was for install.
This feels like there's code duplication going on, but I haven't
thought of an elegant way to distinguish the available operations
so that I can pass around functions instead.
- 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.
