nspawn: add support for limited dissecting of MBR disk images with nspawn
With this change nspawn's -i switch now can now make sense of MBR disk images too - however only if there's only a single, bootable partition of type 0x83 on the image. For all other cases we cannot really make sense from the partition table alone. The big benefit of this change is that upstream Fedora Cloud Images can now be booted unmodified with systemd-nspawn: # wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Cloud/Images/x86_64/Fedora-Cloud-Base-20141203-21.x86_64.raw.xz # unxz Fedora-Cloud-Base-20141203-21.x86_64.raw.xz # systemd-nspawn -i Fedora-Cloud-Base-20141203-21.x86_64.raw -b Next stop: teach the import logic to automatically download these images, uncompress and verify them.
