This PR adds the reset command which installs the system from the recovery partition to the rest of the current disk. As of today it can only reset if the rest of the disk is not partitioned yet.

Running from a installer disk image calling elemental reset is enough to self install and expand to the current disk geometry. No further flags are required as all the installation details were already embedded as part of the build installer process.

This PR is based in top of #235, so still subject to change. That's the reason to keep it as a draft.

enough to self install and expand to the current disk geomtery. No
further flags are required as all the installation details were
already embedded as part of the build installer process.
