- Added new argument -force to the format utility. This will force formatting of the specified single device if it exists and is a block device
- By default, the format package will no longer format the specified single device if content exists on that device
- Added new blkid-based check for content, in addition to the existing check for partitions on autoformat candidate devices.
- Cleanup of old unused code.
- Refactoring of block device verification.
- Added test/cases/040_packages/006_format_mount/005_by_device_force
- Added document of new arguments to /docs/external-disk.md. Also sorted the arguments in the doc alphabetically and added them as bullets so they do not run together on the page.

These are not needed, but we are inconsistent. Been waiting for a
quiet moment to fix this since I noticed while doing a presentation...

Formatting was incorrect due to mismatched mark; also, it appears that
qemu also uses the state directory now for the created disk image. Also
used the same italicized style for param reference in text instead of
some bracketed and some italicized.

- Use the new style kernel tags with the full kernel version
- Update packages with new alpine base and new/simplified Makefiles.

Most cloud providers allow disk size allocation on in units
of GB. Make it the default for linuxkit disk "size" arguments.
Users can override the unit by appending a M to the disk size.

This changes the CLI specification for disks, as it needs to be able to
be repeated.
```
linuxkit run qemu -disk name,size=1G,format=qcow2 ...
```
Options may be omitted.
Currently other local backends may not support multiple disks, but this
can be added in future. Code for cloud backends has not changed as the
disk support is specific to the platform.

- '-disk-size' is now defaults to MB (but can be GB when appending 'G')
- The disk will be created if it doesn't exist (didn't happen in qemu)
Update the documentation.
