PR 58061: fix bug in the GPT backend: when inserting a partition
(i.e. not adding it at the end) a bogus ID was returned for the new

Rework internal data structures and "interfaces to user interface" functions
to get rid of all disklabel assumptions.

Previously (even for GPT partitioning) struct disklabel was used, which
obviously breaks large disk setups. Also many MD parts and parts of the
user interface assumed (a) a struct disklabel is used internally to
store partitioning information and (b) partitions are named 'a' ... $MAXPART.

Get rid of this and replace it with a quite abstract interface that should
be able to deal with all variants in partition storage:

- partitions are stored in a (partly abstract) struct disk_partitions
and most parts of it are only accessed via accessor functions provided
by a "partitioning scheme".

- implement partitioning schemes for MBR, disklabel and GPT (with likely
RDB [amiga] and Apple Partition Map [mac*] to follow soon)

- partitioning schemes may be cascaded, e.g. on x86 when using MBR as
"outer partitions", we have disklabel as "inner partitions".

- all user interface goes via accessor functions in the partitioning scheme,
some of which return pointers to special user interface descriptors
(e.g. to allow editing partition flags, which are scheme specific)

Overall the user interface changes (in this initial step) are minimal but
noticable. A new Anita is needed for automatic test setups - many thanks
to Andreas Gustafsson for lots of early testing and a new Anita version,
and to Manuel Bouyer for cooperation and tests of the Anita release.

Rework internal data structures and "interfaces to user interface" functions
to get rid of all disklabel assumptions.

Previously (even for GPT partitioning) struct disklabel was used, which
obviously breaks large disk setups. Also many MD parts and parts of the
user interface assumed (a) a struct disklabel is used internally to
store partitioning information and (b) partitions are named 'a' ... $MAXPART.

Get rid of this and replace it with a quite abstract interface that should
be able to deal with all variants in partition storage:

- partitions are stored in a (partly abstract) struct disk_partitions
and most parts of it are only accessed via accessor functions provided
by a "partitioning scheme".

- implement partitioning schemes for MBR, disklabel and GPT (with likely
RDB [amiga] and Apple Partition Map [mac*] to follow soon)

- partitioning schemes may be cascaded, e.g. on x86 when using MBR as
"outer partitions", we have disklabel as "inner partitions".

- all user interface goes via accessor functions in the partitioning scheme,
some of which return pointers to special user interface descriptors
(e.g. to allow editing partition flags, which are scheme specific)

Overall the user interface changes (in this initial step) are minimal but
noticable. A new Anita is needed for automatic test setups - many thanks
to Andreas Gustafsson for lots of early testing and a new Anita version,
and to Manuel Bouyer for cooperation and tests of the Anita release.

When finding (paritioning scheme native) partition types for file systems
from our install description, pass the partition type (not only the file
system type). Sometimes (e.g. EFI boot partition on GPT) the filesystem
type (MSDOS) is not a unique selector.

Add options to the various partitioning stages that allow cloning of
alien partitions (optionally including data).

Fix a bug when installing to pre-exising GPT partitions.
Handle GPT labels with spaces.

On architectures that usually do MBR/disklabel, nevertheless deal with
pure/plain disklabel disks, and explicitly offer this as partitioning
option when bootability is not a concern.

Support upgrade of systems using NAME= syntax in /etc/fstab.

Make supported file system types dynamic - instead of hardcoding the
available types at compile time, check for available newfs_* helper
binaries in the actual install environment at runtime.

When reading an existing gpt, match the wedges already existing ons
on the parent device, so we can use them directly if we should proceed
with an unmodified partition table.

Deal with missing labels when parsing gpt(8) output.

branches: 1.6.2;
If available, show additional names of foreign partitions in the
size menu. Makes installing on machines with other OSes installed
a lot less confusing.

Deal with partition types we don't know anything about.

Strip trailing / from last mounted strings.
No idea how they happen, but for cgd root (init.root = "/altroot")
they have been reported to exist.

Fix a few calloc() calls with wrong arg order (harmless, but for consistency)

Ignore corrupt GPTs

Rework internal data structures and "interfaces to user interface" functions
to get rid of all disklabel assumptions.

Previously (even for GPT partitioning) struct disklabel was used, which
obviously breaks large disk setups. Also many MD parts and parts of the
user interface assumed (a) a struct disklabel is used internally to
store partitioning information and (b) partitions are named 'a' ... $MAXPART.

Get rid of this and replace it with a quite abstract interface that should
be able to deal with all variants in partition storage:

- partitions are stored in a (partly abstract) struct disk_partitions
and most parts of it are only accessed via accessor functions provided
by a "partitioning scheme".

- implement partitioning schemes for MBR, disklabel and GPT (with likely
RDB [amiga] and Apple Partition Map [mac*] to follow soon)

- partitioning schemes may be cascaded, e.g. on x86 when using MBR as
"outer partitions", we have disklabel as "inner partitions".

- all user interface goes via accessor functions in the partitioning scheme,
some of which return pointers to special user interface descriptors
(e.g. to allow editing partition flags, which are scheme specific)

Overall the user interface changes (in this initial step) are minimal but
noticable. A new Anita is needed for automatic test setups - many thanks
