[PATCH v2 0/8] #11278 - wic: create an option to use entire disk

[Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh@linux.intel.com>]

Hi,

This patchset implements wic write [--expand auto|<partnum>:<size>]
subcommand to write partitioned image to the target media or file with the optional
possibility to expand partitions to either fill the target media(--expand auto)
or using specified partition sizes (--expand <partnum>:<size>)

'wic write' uses bmaptool API, so it's much faster than dd.
It doesn't require root privileges, just write permissions for the target file or
device.

'wic write' can also be used to flash unpartitioned images.

Changes in v2:
 squashed 'wic write' implementation in one commit
 fixed typo in commit message
