This commit adds the new configuration `efiSystemPartitionName` to the
file partition.conf.
This option sets the partition name to the EFI System Partition that is
created. If this option is unset, the partition is left unnamed.
- isEfi only used meaningfully once
- if (isEfi) followed by if (!isEfi) can be simpler
- create bios-but-not-GPT strings in one go
- mark TODO that this should warn only if needed
- use weird * notation for branding-strings
Introduces a "partitioning service" into libcalamares,
shuffles a bunch of things into it, tries to help out
with settling the system between partitioning actions.
- When the manual partitioning page exists, it reacts to
changes in a bunch of models; these models can be changed
repeatedly from the choice page.
- the manual partitioning page really only needs to deal with
the relevant selections at the moment it is instantiated.
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.

Due to changes to the FileSsytem::typeForName() function, more
processing is needed to deal with locales and different cases.
This is done by refactoring the findFS() function, initially located in
the PartitionViewStep class, and making it available to the whole module.
Additionnally, more checks have been implemented regarding the use of
global storage in the PartitionLayout class, and the filesystem types
now use the correct FileSystem::Type, as requested.

- drop the localized comparisons; that's just confusing
- warn when no default FS is set (then use ext4)
- fix case-insensitive fallback; it used fsType, which was
set to Unknown in the for loop.
- Using the assignment-operator just generates blank lines.
- Using QLog with a log-level avoids the cDebug()-style special
handling of warnings and errors (useless here, but may as well
fix code style).
- Use locale "C" for checking filesystem names
- Also check other possibilities and case-insensitive, to
be more forgiving of weird configurations (and localizations)
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 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.
