* Parted: Allow partitions to have no filesystem, for eg, GPT BIOS boot
partitions. (API change)
* Added rawPartition to PartSpec, for specifying partitions with no
filesystem.
* Added BiosGrubFlag to PartFlag.
Note that man parted does not list the "bios_boot" flag, but I found it in
its html documentation. Other flags may also be missing.

Avoid bogus warning about new upstream version when /usr/bin/propellor is
run on a Debian system, but ~/.propellor was not cloned from the Debian git
bundle.

If the concurrent output was delayed for whatever reason, the messages

Added Propellor.Property.Installer modules, which can be used to create
bootable installer disk images, which then run propellor to install a
system.
This code was extracted from the demo I gave at my talk at DebConf 2017,
from the secret-project repository. That repository was AGPL licensed.
I hereby relicense the code committed here under the same 2-clause BSD
license as the rest of propellor.
Changes from secret-project: Generalized UserInput to a type class,
and added a lot more documentation and examples.

This should fix the reversion in GPT partition creation. See my long
comment for the gory details.

This is to support eg, coreboot. The GrubTarget passed to Grub.installed
is introspected to determine --target. If multiple grubs are installed,
it currently doesn't pass any --target. Might make more sense to run
grub-install repeatedly, but I don't know if that case is sane at all.
The Xen -> "x86_64-xen" mapping is kind of arbitrarily
chosen since there's a i386-xen available too. I don't know when that
case would be used in any case though; chainPVGrub uses installed Xen,
but it does not run grub-install. If this does become a problem,
would probably need to split it into Xen64 and Xen32.
Renamed BIOS to GrubTarget in passing to match grub's terminology; BIOS was
kind of a joke term for this in propellor.

That can take quite a while, so let the user know why propellor has
stalled.

* DiskImage: Fix rsync crash when a mount point does not exist in the
chroot.
* Fix bug in unmountBelow that caused unmounting of nested mounts to
fail.

Cheap flash drives need partitions aligned to 4 MiB in order to not be slow
(and to avoid extra writes). <https://lwn.net/Articles/428584/>
And at least 1 MiB alignment is generally a good idea, and most people
seem to think 4 MiB is for all drives.
I noticed that Parted.partitioned does not do that; the first
partition started at an offset of 1 MB, and subsequent partitions
from where it ends. (The 1 MB offset came from the PartedVal PartSize
instance, and note that it was not 1 MiB.)
* Parted: Add an Alignment parameter. (API change)
A good default to use is safeAlignment, which is 4MiB,
well suited for inexpensive flash drives, and fine for other disks too.
Previously, a very non-optimial 1MB (not 1MiB) alignment had been used.
* DiskImage: Use safeAlignment. It didn't seem worth making the
alignment configurable here.
Alignment is implemented by offsetting the first partition's start
position so it's aligned (making sure to leave room for the partition
table). Each partition is then extended as needed so the next partition
will start properly aligned.
Note that parted rejects partition tables that don't fit in cylinder
bounderies. Before, propellor let parted deal with the fine details
of layout, so that was not a problem. Now it's possible to set some
wacky Alignment not divisible by 512, or use Byte sizes for partitions
and create a partition table that parted rejects. But, using
safeAlignment and MegaBytes should always be safe.
Also, this fixes a rounding bug in Parted.calcPartTable.
It was rounding up to the nearest MegaByte when allocating remaining
disk space, so returned partition table that was actually larger than
the disk size.

Use "fat32" for both; these are not distinguished at the partition table
level.

Avoid needing to --spin host deployed from disk image to let its propellor
access its privdata.
