This version is preliminary because it quite heavily depends on pykickstart
(through blivet) and the roadmap is to have a nice NixOS attrset-based
specification of partitions.
Currently the main purpose for this is in preparation for the Hetzner nixops
backend, but we might want to make this part of the standard NixOS installer.

Kinda icky to not have archives available here, but I got an error during VM
tests because of an sha256sum mismatch, hence the update. Maybe Hydra has cached
this?
And yes, I checked twice, it wasn't a broken download - there really *is* a new
upstream version available.

This adds the correct store paths for mount, umount and lsof to blivet as these
commands are still generic enough to _not_ add them as a dependency.

First of all, the path to wipefs didn't work at all, and though it is
documented, the "-f" flag only works when used as a long option ("--force").
This is probably fixed upstream in util-linux, but using the long-option will
stay compatible.

At the moment, we still use kickstart syntax, but this is going to change
soon[TM] to be more NixOS-integrated. The tests use emptyDiskImages option
introduced in the previous commit, so we don't have to create a whole bunch of
duplicate expressions.
Testing itself is done exclusively on /dev/vdb and /dev/vdc. And there is a
check (ensureSanity) to make sure none of the tests are actually mutating
/dev/vda.

This allows to add additional raw disk images to the VM, which therein are
available as /dev/vdb, /dev/vdc, /dev/vde and so on. Especially when testing
partitioning, this could be useful.

by default (as it was before), kde depends on a libcanberra with its
gtk dependency removed so a kde system can be gtk-free.
However, both firefox and chromium depend on gtk+ and libcanberra too.
So this leads to 2 versions being installed. this option combats that
by letting the kde use the other libcanberra
Otherwise the user won't be able to override anything specified in
NixOS' /etc/fonts/conf.d, since ~/.config/fontconfig is included from
upstream fonts/conf.5/50-user.conf.
This works around a bug in infinality that causes broken rendering in
some cases. Issue NixOS/nixpkgs#663.
Upstream suggests that "slight" is a better/safer default in any case.
It also looks better, IMHO, YMMV.
