scsi id (serial number). Install multipath-tools package if such
devices exist.

doc/devel/README-maas-image.txt: add info on using maas ephemeral

This shows how to use the maas ephemeral image rather than a cloud image \
and a cloud-image -root.tar.gz.

helpers/common grub-install: use --no-nvram only when available

We use --no-nvram to avoid setting pxe boot settings in uefi,
but that is only available on newer versions of grub.

Add --no-nvram to the grub-install command for UEFI.

This stops grub from changing the EFI boot options, keeping machines booting from network instead of the newly installed system.

add and use wipe_partitions, improve wipedev

instead of using sgdisk --zap-all and wipefs, use 'wipedev'.
For partitions, we can now use:
  wipe_partitions /dev/vdb 1

which will wipe the beginning of the partition without
triggering a REREADPT that wipefs would do.

I believe the wipefs call was the reason for the race condition
seen in LP: #1443542.

tools/maas2roottar: add this helper tool

maas2roottar takes a maas image (root-image.gz) and
creates a root-image file, a tarball suitable for installation
and optionally pulls kernel and initramfs out from inside.

improve code that finds devices and partitions

this fixes 2 bugs (LP: #1401190 and LP: #1263181).
I'm not terribly happy about the name-specific (cciss/c0d0) code that is
being added here. However, I do want this to work.

Also, we add a "should work" path for determining the device name
of a partition on a given target. Ie, given:
  /dev/sda 1 => /dev/sda1
  /dev/nbd0p1 => /dev/ndb0p1

The tricky/annoying one is
  /dev/cciss/c0d0 1 -> /dev/cciss/c0d0p1

get_installable_blockdevs: filter out removable devices and size < 1G

add 2 keyword options to this method to by default filter out
disks that are removable (CD, USB, floppy) or are smaller than 1G.

curtin.deps.install: actually do the install
