feat: provide disk detection based on new blockdevices

Uses go-siderolabs/go-blockdevice/v2 for all the hard parts, provides new resource `Disk` which describes all disks in the system. Additional resource `SystemDisk` always point to the system disk (based on the location of `META` partition). The `Disks` API (and `talosctl disks`) provides a view now into the `talosctl get disks` to keep backwards compatibility. QEMU provisioner can now create extra disks of various types: IDE, AHCI, SCSI, NVME, this allows to test detection properly. The new resource will be the foundation for volume provisioning (to pick up the disk to provision the volume on). Example: ``` talosctl -n 172.20.0.5 get disks NODE NAMESPACE TYPE ID VERSION SIZE READ ONLY TRANSPORT ROTATIONAL WWID MODEL SERIAL 172.20.0.5 runtime Disk loop0 1 65568768 true 172.20.0.5 runtime Disk nvme0n1 1 10485760000 false nvme nvme.1b36-6465616462656566-51454d55204e564d65204374726c-00000001 QEMU NVMe Ctrl deadbeef 172.20.0.5 runtime Disk sda 1 10485760000 false virtio true QEMU HARDDISK 172.20.0.5 runtime Disk sdb 1 10485760000 false sata true t10.ATA QEMU HARDDISK QM00013 QEMU HARDDISK 172.20.0.5 runtime Disk sdc 1 10485760000 false sata true t10.ATA QEMU HARDDISK QM00001 QEMU HARDDISK 172.20.0.5 runtime Disk vda 1 12884901888 false virtio true ``` Signed-off-by: Andrey Smirnov <andrey.smirnov@siderolabs.com>
