[Bug 1565746] [NEW] Use growpart even if it doesn't support --update

 

Public bug reported:

cc_growpart is only using growpart if it supports --update. I have to
spawn some older linuxes ( like ubuntu precise ) that don't support this
and I would like to have recent cloud-init for it. My workaround is to
use growpart even if it doesn't support --update but create /var/run
/reboot-required like the gdisk-resizer does. This way growing the disk
always works but some machines require a reboot afterwards. Does it make
sense to you to pull this into trunk?
