Create a loopback device for the raw partiton, rather than relying on
the partition devices the kernel puts in /dev. This requires us to
specify the part_msdos module directly as grub2-install now seems
unable to detect the partition table type.

Create and instantiate the ext4 filesystem directly on the device, without
ever mounting it. This means that only grub2 now requires loopback devices
to function properly.

This removes the possibility of passing in arbitrary input data. We
now restrict ourselves to explicitly specified files/directories or
a base tree given by its pipeline id.
This drops the tar/tree stages/assemblers, as the tree/untree ones
are implicit in osbuild, and if we wish to also support compressed
trees, then we should add that to osbuild core as an option.

By default the whole image file is attechd to the loopback device, but
we want to only attach a slice, namely individual partitions.
This is a noop, just adds the parameters to the helpers.
