45d0594b1b device: add support for parent devices
This allows device nesting, i.e. one device being opened inside another
one.

ce312f47be devices: wire close up as rpc method
Normally `DeviceService.close` would be called when the connection
was closed on the other end. Expose that close method via RPC so
that clients can call it explicitly. This should be mostly useful
in testing.

4f211eb0a5 osbuild: introduce device host service
A new host service that provides device functionality to stages.
Since stages run in a container and are restricted from creating
device nodes, all device handling is done in the main osbuild
process. Currently this is done with the help of APIs and RPC,
e.g. `LoopServer`. Device host services on the other hand allow
declaring devices in the manifest itself and then osbuild will
prepare all devices before running the stage. One desired effect
is that it makes device handling transparent to the stages, e.g.
they don't have to know about loopback devices, LVM or LUKS.
Another result is that specific device handling is now modular
like Inputs and Source are and thus moved out of osbuild itself.
