Resizing, shrinking, specifying sizes in guestfish
--------------------------------------------------
Owing to an oversight we don't really supporting shrinking
filesystems. See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585221

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585223
But a related problem is how to specify sizes to guestfish, ie. "100M"
or "1G". Currently the specific alloc and sparse functions contain
code to parse these size strings, but that cannot be used anywhere
else that would take a byte count. This is awkward because some
commands take units of megabytes (lvresize, sfdiskM) or sectors
(part-add), with no unifying theme.
