This relaxes the rules in fs::any::is_boot_bios_part_needed to allow
the BIOS boot partition to be located on any disk, not just the disk
containing the root partition. It also ensures that a BIOS boot
partition is never forcibly required in a system with non-GPT disks.

This prevents misreporting of the partition type in diskdrake if they
located on top of an old partition that contained a valid file system.

When doing a UEFI install, we add a fstab entry to mount the ESP on
/boot/EFI. This is neither required nor desirable when doing a legacy
boot install, even if an ESP is present on the disk.

<title>Don't treat Empty or BIOS_GRUB partitions as free space (mga#20074).</title>

The subroutine isEmpty() is used to identify free space on the disk
(not DOS "Empty" partitions). Because we use a string to flag Empty
and BIOS_GRUB partitions, rather than a numeric value, the numeric
equality operator gives false positives.

To minimise the changes this close to mga6 release (and until we fix
the bug in partition auto-allocation that mistakenly creates BIOS boot
partitions non-GPT disks), reuse the BIOS_GRUB flag for flagging Empty
partitions, as the real partition ID (0x00) is used to flag free space.
