add 'growpart' config module.

This adds support for resizing partition tables for mounted partitions.
It thus allows us to remove 'cloud-initramfs-growpart' from running in
the initramfs, and do it here instead.

That depends on:
 a.) growpart in cloud-utils 0.2.7 or later
     or
     parted with 'resizepart' support
 b.) kernel 3.8.
