v2.24 fdisk and libfdisk

[Karel Zak]

I have merged libfdisk branch, changes:

    89 files changed, 8988 insertions(+), 7842 deletions(-)

  * complete refactoring (no more "if (label == FOO)" everywhere)
  * all label drivers (GPT, MBR, SUN, SGI and BSD) moved to libfdisk
  * output uses lib/tt.c
  * colors enabled by default
  * more readable help output ('m' command)
  * uses {M,G,T}iB (2^n) to print disk size
  * device properties (I/O limits, geometry) in all 'p'rint outputs
    for all labels
  * input (commands) should be backwardly compatible, but now it's
    case sensitive
  * all code uses the same alignment/geometry code
  * no more global variables

  * allows to edit GPT partition name and UUID (expert mode)
  * allows to edit GPT disk UUID (expert mode)

  * libfdisk API is not stable yet (planned for v2.25)
  * libfdisk.so is not distributed yet (planned for v2.25)



TODO:

  * (???) support hybrid GPT modification - now supported read-only
  
  * rewrite cfdisk to use the library

  * add support for pre-configured values to bypass dialogs to make
    it usable in programs like sfdisk (now all is driven by dialogs
    only)
