Regain space after on-device installation

Administrator requested to merge regain-space-after-install into master

Automatically delete the pmOS_deleteme partition left behind by the on-device installer, and enable PMOS_FORCE_PARTITION_RESIZE for the PinePhone so it will grab the space and use it for the root partition, as soon as it is available. Details in the commit messages.

Closes: postmarketos-ondev#1 (closed)

Testplan for qemu:

$ pmbootstrap zap -p
$ pmbootstrap config device qemu-amd64
$ yes | pmbootstrap install --ondev
$ pmbootstrap qemu
(complete the installation, set up ssh credentials, login via ssh)
$ df -h /
$ lsblk
(shows that no install partition remains, and all space is used for the root partition)

Testplan for pinephone (SD card):

$ pmbootstrap zap -p
$ pmbootstrap config device pine64-pinephone
$ yes | pmbootstrap install --ondev --sdcard=...
(plug sd card, complete the installation, set up ssh credentials, login via ssh or via serial console)
$ df -h /
$ lsblk
(shows that no install partition remains, and all space is used for the root partition)

Testplan for pinephone (eMMC):

I've verified it myself with qemu and pinephone (SD card). I'll test it at least once with eMMC before we ship the final image (should not block the MR) 😉
