Bug #569900: partman sometimes creates partitions such that there is ambiguity between whether the superblock is on the disk device or the partition device

Expand the small gap we leave at the end of the disk to avoid MD
superblock ambiguity so that it correctly covers the region where
ambiguity might arise. The previous gap was insufficient on disks that
were between 512 and 65535 bytes larger than a multiple of 1048576 bytes
(LP: #569900).

Don't apply optimal alignment to extended partitions (LP: #558382).

203. By Colin Watson on 2010-04-12

Allow preseeding partman/alignment to "cylinder", "minimal", or
"optimal"; "cylinder" restores old alignment behaviour for the benefit
of those with crotchety BIOSes, while "optimal" is the default.

Ignore free space smaller than the grain size of the partition creation
constraint, rather than only free space smaller than a cylinder.

parted 2.1 changed the semantics of ped_disk_clobber: it now zeroes out
the first few and last few sectors of the disk, regardless of whether
there appears to be a valid partition table on it. Unfortunately, this
means that creating a filesystem on a whole disk device and then calling
ped_disk_commit_to_dev zeroes the filesystem header we just created. To
avoid this, call ped_disk_commit_to_dev only if the partition doesn't
start at sector zero (LP: #539324, #549260).
