Rework EFI partition management logic (Bug#1092892)

Pascal Hambourg requested to merge pham/partman-efi:rework_logic into master

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1092892

  • Remove interaction with the 'boot' flag and the 'bootable' file.
  • Remove the 'esp' flag on existing and new EFI partitions when the method is set to another use.
  • Remove the 'esp' flag on new EFI partitions when the method is set to "do not use".
  • Preserve automatic recipe or user's choice to not use existing EFI partitions.

In order to preserve unused existing EFI partitions (which may be used by other OS):

  • Keep the 'esp' flag on existing EFI partitions when the method is set to "do not use".
  • Restore the 'esp' flag on former existing EFI partitions when the method is set to "do not use".
  • Forget about former EFI partitions when committing changes.
