First, add a new buildextend-metal4k command to create 4k disk images.
Then, teach kola and cosa run to read these images.

To test:

host$ cosa run -I metal4k
...
vm$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/vda
...
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
...

One potentially controversial bit here is that this requires a newer
libguestfs which isn't in f31 yet, so we pull it from f32 for now.

Closes: coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker#385

Let's hold this until #1024 gets in, and I'll rebase on top of that.

@jlebon when this is ready, let's merge this. I do not forsee #1024 merging quickly due to the larger question raised. This has user pain now and solving that is more important IMO.

looks like #1024 was closed, is there anything else holding this up?

Got the artifact working, but need to complete wiring it up on the kola side to make it easier to test.

OK, dropped WIP on this and marked ready for review!

I updated the first comment with the commit message, but this is worth highlighting again:

One potentially controversial bit here is that this requires a newer
libguestfs which isn't in f31 yet, so we pull it from f32 for now.

I think this is probably fine since f32 is almost out. But given that we extensively use libguestfs, it's possible we'll hit regressions too.

There's a lot of other stuff to enhance for this, including coreos-installer support and testiso too. Let me keep holding a mutex on testiso stuff for now!

Notable change, so I'll defer to a second for lgtm.

create_disk.sh: drop -- handling

We don't pass extra args to some program. So stop trying to handle `--`.
Plus, it wouldn't work anyway since the `*)` preceding it would catch
it.

With the FCOS release that just went out, this would be a good time to get this in and let it bake and rollback the libguestfs bump if necessary.
