gpt: don't abort for a truncated GPT-formatted device
This fixes the problem two ways. The first fix (via gpt_alloc)
rejects any device that is too small, but it is insufficient.
Choose a slightly larger truncated device with an otherwise intact
primary GPT header and you can still trigger the failed assertion.
To fix it in general, we make _header_is_valid detect the problem.
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_alloc): Reject a device that is so
small that there is no room for a single partition.
(_header_is_valid): Validate LastUsableLBA here, as well, so that
we now reject as invalid any GPT header that specifies a
LastUsableLBA larger than the device size.
Leave the assertion in _parse_header.
* tests/t0203-gpt-tiny-device-abort.sh: Test for this.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS: (Bug fixes): Mention it.
