Add blivet-gui as an alternative option for storage configuration in
Anaconda Installer.
Unlike the current custom partitioning screen in Anaconda, which works
in a top-down way (user specifies mountpoints and their properties),
blivet-gui works with the bottom-up principle (user has full control
to assemble the storage configuration from individual members). By
integrating blivet-gui into anaconda we will make the bottom-up
partitioning available to users during the installation. Blivet-gui is
built on top of the blivet library, which is used by Anaconda for
storage configuration, this makes the change very easy to implement
and doesn't bring new code and dependecies into the installer other
than a relatively small GUI package.
+1, this (i.e., a non-black-box way to configure partitioning in Anaconda)
was long overdue!
