Read partition names from /proc/partitions too (#131)

GParted already always reads /proc/partitions for whole disk device
names no matter whether it uses whole disk devices named on the command
line, from /proc/partitions or from libparted.  As /proc/partitions
lists all the block devices that the kernel knows about, and therefore
all the possible ones blkid could probe, so use it to provide partition
names and device to partition mapping.  See code comments for more
details about the assumptions the /proc/partition parsing code makes and
the fact that these are confirmed by examining the Linux kernel source.

This commit just adds debugging to print the existing vector of
validated devices GParted shows in the UI and the vector with all
partitions added, ready for but not yet passed to blkid.
    # ./gpartedbin
    ...
    DEBUG: device_paths=["/dev/sda","/dev/sdb"]
    DEBUG: device_and_partition_paths=["/dev/sda","/dev/sda1","/dev/sda2","/dev/sdb","/dev/sdb1"]

Also demonstrating that this continues to support named devices,
including file system image files [1].
    # truncate -s 256M /tmp/ext4.img
    # mkfs.ext4 /tmp/ext4.img
    # ./gpartedbin /dev/sda /tmp/ext4.img
    ...
    DEBUG: device_paths=["/dev/sda","/tmp/ext4.img"]
    DEBUG: device_and_partition_paths=["/dev/sda","/dev/sda1","/dev/sda2","/tmp/ext4.img"]

    Make sure that FS_Info cache is loaded for all named paths (#787181)
