- Bump version: 9.20.8 → 9.20.9

- Fixed _get_grub2_mkconfig_tool
  Last patch on this method breaks the search for alternative
  mkconfig names. It returns always on the first lookup which
  could be none. This breaks on systems that uses a different
  name than grub2-mkconfig, like on Ubuntu.

- Increase spare space on disk repart
  The sizing of the virtual cylinders in parted seems to be unfavorable,
  as with some disks and SD cards here the device size is not a multiple
  of the cylinder size, so the last incomplete cylinder is wasted.
  If this wasted space is more than 5MiB, kiwi tries to resize indefinitely.
  Therefore min_additional_mbytes gets increased to prevent running
  into this situation. This Fixes bsc#1165823

- Fixed return value from _get_grub2_mkconfig_tool
  The method returned the basename of the tool if it could

  be the result from Path.which() to allow working on the
  full path name.

- Make CommandCapabilities.check_version take the longest match
  This commit ensures that when trying to parse the version of a tool
  the comparison is done with the longest match for the given regular
  expression. This solves cases such in `grub2` where the tool name
  already provides some digit that could be seen as a version.

- Fixed check for grub mkconfig capabilities
  The check for the capabilities of the tool were applied to
  the tool installed on the host but the later call of the
  tool will be done with the tool inside the image root

- Validate use of GRUB_USE_LINUXEFI
  On systems that uses GRUB_USE_LINUXEFI with grub2 version

  follows:

- Added new oem-resize-once element
  The new element controls the behavior of the repart/resize code
  in the oem-repart dracut module. By default the repart/resize
  happens on every reboot and therefore also allows for disk
  geometry changes during the livetime of the machine. If the
  element is set to false the repart/resize operation happens
  only once and then never again. To check for this condition
  a new profile environment variable kiwi_rootpartuuid which
  holds the PARTUUID of the root partition has been added to
  the disk builder.

  The tools used to check the disk allocation condition

- Follow up fix for kernel version lookup
  When using custom kiwi boot images a shell method named
  baseCreateCommonKernelFile was used to create a common
  kernel file name in the boot image to allow a simpler
  search code in the builder. The search code in the builder
  however uses the standard kernel naming schema and with
  the latest changes to the kernel version lookup the
  common name did not match the matching pattern anymore.
  The use of such a common kernel file is obsolete and
  the shell method can finally be deleted.

- Bump version: 9.19.8 → 9.19.9

- Refactor kernel version lookup
  For the lookup of the kernel version kiwi provided a small
  C program that reads the first bytes of the kernel binary
  and extracts the version information. Given the various
  compression formats and also the problem of kernel files
  that contains the decompressor code which could be anything
  it has turned out to be difficult to provide a stable tool
  to read the version from the binary. Therefore the code in
  kiwi was refactored to read the version via regexp match
  from the filename which also makes kversion an obsolete
  tool. This Fixes #1308

- Fixed swap setup if btrfs is used
  In case of a volume manager the simplified variant of the
  device name is used in the fstab file to reference the
  swap device. However this is only correct for the lvm
  volume management but not for btrfs. In case of btrfs
  the swap space is not a subvolume but a real partition
  and thus the simplified device spec in fstab puts in the
  loop mapped device which is wrong. This patch fixes it

- Adapt test-image-oem integration test for s390
  The test was originally designed to test for DASD 4k block

  was setup using 4k sector size. So far we can't create
  images with 4k blocksize due to that issue. Thus the
  integration test is now adapted for an emulated DASD device
  in FBA mode which is not using 4k blocksize. Once the
  problem with kpartx is solved on s390 we will create another
  integration test to test 4k image builds

  memory and the user does not provide the -g flag it returns an error
  code.
  The solution applied in this commit is to just run the GPT to MBR
  convertion as the last sgdisk command and change partition type before
  running the convertion.
