Fix auto-allocation of BIOS boot partitions (mga#20161, mga#19888).
This adds a specific subroutine, fsedit::auto_allocate_boot_bios_parts that detects if a BIOS boot partition is needed and allocates it if so. This allows us to relax the rules in fs::any::is_boot_bios_part_needed to allow the user to manually allocate the BIOS boot partition on a different device if they so wish. In the normal case that installation is confined to a single disk, this will allocate a single BIOS boot partition on that disk. In the rare case that installation is spread over multiple disks, it will allocate a BIOS boot partition on every disk. Given that the BIOS boot partitions are very small and that this is not a normal use case (see mga#16055), this seems an acceptable quirk - and does allow the user to then choose any disk when installing the boot loader.
