Support encrypting multiple partitions (#759)
* Added support for storing disk encryption keyfiles and add them to a keyslot. * Added a luks2().add_key() function in order to inject a keyfile into a keyslot on a encrypted volume. * Simplified 'missing encryption password' logic in Filesystem(). Added a call to luks2().add_key() after the root-password is set on the volume, to add the keyfile in slot 2 * Adding in password handling in luks2().add_key(). It's required to enter a previous passphrase to unlock the volume and add a new keyslot. Also simplified the handling of partition in Installer().mount_ordered_layout() * Adding in encryption on all partitions except /boot when encryption is opted in * Removed setting size on Partition() as it's a read only value. No idea how Partition().size = size hasn't caused an issue before. Removed size=X argument to Partition() * Added a uniqueness to the loopdevice name. This should ensure that multiple encrypted volumes can be opened at the same time, except for Partition().detect_inner_filesystem() operations which can only happen one at a time since they share namespace. This should never be an issue since archinstall is single threaded and no concurrent operations can/should happen. * Added partprobe() as part of disk/helpers.py, added a /dev/ -> UUID mapper function called convert_device_to_uuid(path). Added a luks2().crypttab() function that sets up a /etc/crypttab entry. * Moved the responsability for telling archinstall to generate a keyfile from Filesystem() to user_interaction.py. This should in the future be a user-input based value, and not something the Filesystem() automatically dictates. * Added a retry mechanism to luks2().encrypt() to avoid having to re-start the installation when a device simply wasn't up yet. * Swapping UUID= lookup from loopdev to physdev.
