Curtis Gedak 87acba030c Remove all usage of kpartx to avoid partition entry duplicates
Usage of the kpartx package to create partition names has been
completely removed.  Hence kpartx is no longer even an optionally used
package by gparted.

This change is related to the following bug report:

Ubuntu launchpad bug 719129 - [Natty] Gparted duplicates dmraid
                              partition devices

Curtis Gedak 2f99511228 Add flag --enable-libparted-dmraid to use native libparted dmraid
The new configure option --enable-libparted-dmraid enables the native
use of /dev/mapper dmraid support in the libparted library.

If this option is not specified, or is disabled, then gparted code
will be used to support dmraid.  The gparted code uses the old dmraid
partition naming scheme of always appending the partition number to
the device name.  The letter 'p' is not inserted between the device
name and the partition number.  The gparted code is particularly
useful when used with older versions of libparted that do not support
/dev/mapper dmraid.

Curtis Gedak c55a8de305 Remove dependency on kpartx for fake RAID support
With this patch the commands required to support motherboard BIOS
RAID, also known as fake RAID, are dmraid and dmsetup.

If the kpartx command is available, it will be used to maintain
device entries that follow the naming convention used by kpartx.

devices
