subiquity

History

Ryan Harper a16c301eed Drop python3-parted use Using parted required root privileges since it opened the underlying device. Instead create our own Disk model and use sysfs interface for extracting size information. This also clears the way for providing device data via probert input. This means we can feed subiquity a probert dump and have it present that to the installer UI even if we're running on a different system.
