Bump the size of the system partition created by Tails Installer

This is about:

  • creating a bigger system partition, whose size depends on the size of the target device;
  • handling nicely the fact that “Clone and Upgrade” will become impossible in some cases;
  • refusing installing a new Tails on a device smaller than 8 GiB.

See the parent ticket for detailed specifications, and see #11627 (closed) for UI messages that sajolida drafted already (I expect they’ll be worked on again but that should be enough to get started with the coding).
