libfdisk: accept grain script header
The "grain" variable is used to calculate partitions alignment. The
default is 1MiB (or minimal I/O size). The libfdisk provides API to overwrite
this default, but this feature has been nowhere accessible for
end-user.
This patch support for "grain: <size>" in libfdisk scripts.
