And implement it on ext2, 3, 4. I don't know all the filesystems
that can have posix permissions, those three will do. if we need
more in the future we implement them, it's two lines of code.
The GPT partition layout supports partition attributes.
The CLI sfdisk sets the partition attributes using the option
--part-attrs. See the examples below:

This commit introduces the new job set-partition-attributes that is used
in the new-operation to set the attributes of the partition. The job
uses the newly introduced method setPartitionAttributes that is
implemented by the sfdisk and dummy backends.
Note: This is a copypaste of what was done for GPT partition label in
commit f585f6c (Add new job to set the GPT partition label) and GPT
partition UUID in commit 1dde035 (Add new job to set the GPT partition
UUID).
Note: RequiredPartition, NoBlockIOProtocol, LegacyBIOSBootable are
key words for 0, 1 and 2.
The GPT UUID are generated by the backends automatically once a
partition is created.
This reads the UUID that was generated after the creation of a partition
and stores it back to the object Partition.
The GPT partition layout supports unique GUID partitions.
The CLI sfdisk sets the partition UUID using the option --part-uuid.
See the examples below:

This commit introduces the new job set-partition-uuid that is used in
the new-operation to set the UUID of the partition. The job uses the
newly introduced method setPartitionUUID that is implemented by the
sfdisk and dummy backends.
Note: This is a copypaste of what was done for GTP partition label in
commit f585f6c (Add new job to set the GPT partition label).
The GPT partition layout supports naming partitions.
The support for the partition label was added in the backend libparted
since commit 28fa6ac (Add support for GTP partition labels).
The libparted was removed later by commit 8fa1814 (Remove libparted
backend) and no backend sets the partition label.
The CLI sfdisk sets the partition label using the option --part-label.
See the examples below:

In some cases, it may be necessary to create a filesystem with specific features
enabled/disabled.
This PR makes it possible to create filesystems this way. It does so
by introducing a new m_Features member variable and the createWithFeatures()
function to the FileSystem base class. The latter function is implemented
for the btrfs, ext2/3/4 and FAT filesystems.
Additionnally, the CreateFileSystemJob has been modified to enable
creating/formatting filesystems with specific features enabled.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D21903
CCBUG: 342178
setFlags function now takes additional argument const Partition& partition.
This allows us to completely remove CoreBackendPartition class.
Remove getPartitionBySector and getExtendedPartitions.
These functions were designed around libparted API and are not very convenient
with other backends.
In rare cases after moving file system to a new location file system check
fails on the first try. As a temporary workaround, wait a bit and try again.
