The option allows to remove filesystes/RAIDs from newly created
partitions before the partition table is updated (and partition
device created).
The default is "auto" in this case wipe is enabled in interactive mode
only and user's confirmation (yes/no dialog) is required. Note that
keep filesystem signature on partition is pretty valid use-case, so we
don't erase anything by default.

For example when you move from a Partition to the FreeSapce then we
need to remove old extra info and draw nothing.

The patch removes problem with getch() on slang, now the code is based
on subwin() and extra info window is persistent.
A new problem is that slang does not keep sub-window border
persistent. I'm going to ignore this slang problem... use ncurses
dude!

The new 'extra' info provides:
* filesystem information from libblkid (TYPE, UUID, LABEL)
This feature is based on libblkid ability to probe specified area
on the device. It allows to probe for filesystems although the
partition devices (e.g. /dev/sda2) does not exist. For example from
disk image:
# cfdisk /home/archive/fs-images/disk.img
* additional information from libfdisk (partition UUID, Name, ...)
* mount information from libmount (from fstab or mountinfo)

- cfdisk: minimal partitions size is 1 sector
- dos: when align last sector then don't set partition size to zero
for very small partitions.
- don't ignore tiny partitions before free space when define
free-space start offset
- improve some debug messages

The printout of the table headers and the bottomline descriptions
were lacking calls to gettext().

When the terminal has less than 32 lines, the new cfdisk ignored the
fact that the help-screen text was longer and just skipped printing
the remaining lines. Instead of introducing a minipager for the help
screen, just condense its text and remove unneeded lines. Now the
text occupies just 25 lines, which should fit on most terminals.

Asking for the translation of the empty string ("") produces the header
of the PO file corresponding to the current locale, which messes up the
help screen. So, don't use empty strings in the array of help strings
but (arbitrary) double spaces.

This change fixes all shadow declarations. The worth while to mention
fix is with libfdisk sun geometry. It comes from bitops.h cpu_to_be16
macro that further expands from include/bits/byteswap.h that has the
shadowing.
libfdisk/src/sun.c:961:173: warning: declaration of '__v' shadows a previous local [-Wshadow]
libfdisk/src/sun.c:961:69: warning: shadowed declaration is here [-Wshadow]
libfdisk/src/sun.c:961:178: warning: declaration of '__x' shadows a previous local [-Wshadow]
libfdisk/src/sun.c:961:74: warning: shadowed declaration is here [-Wshadow]
That could have caused earlier some unexpected results.

This functionality will be rarely used, so it does not make sense to
waste screen space with this menu item. It's enough to provide this
functionality in "Select label type" dialog (cfdisk --zero and then
'L' command).

The zero may be valid size and start of the partition. This patch
introduces:
fdisk_partition_has_start()
fdisk_partition_has_size()
fdisk_partition_unset_size()
fdisk_partition_unset_start()
to make it possible to work with zero. The feature is internally
implemented by magic constant ((type) -1) for undefined sizes and
offsets.
