Subject: Allow a BIOS boot partition to be located on any disk (mga#20161).

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.

 Returns whether a Boot BIOS Partition is needed
-(aka the device holding /boot is GPT partitionned but doesn't already have one).

+Returns true if all of the following are true:
+  - legacy boot (not UEFI)
+  - all disks are (or will be) GPT
+  - no disks have a BIOS boot partition
