does no longer give partitioning systems precedence over file systems.
The one with the greater identification priority wins. ATM, if a file
system wins, we still mount the first file system that recognized the
partition at all, though.

like floppy or CD boot.
This allows it to reduce the number of scans needed to identify the boot
partition - when booted from a real floppy, this speeds up the boot
process by a magnitude.
Also, the loader now has a fall back in case there were no "boot" links
on the disk - the current boot floppy script doesn't create them.
With these changes, I was able to boot into a HD based Haiku installation
from a floppy disk. It's not yet enough to boot from CD (as the boot
device selection is a bit too simplistic right now), but it will eventually
come next. Testing is a lot slower here, though, as neither qemu nor
Bochs support multi-session CDs (at least I have no idea how to get them
to do this).

add_partitions_for(), though).
The partition now also tracks if it refers to a partitioning system or not.

The Partition class now maintains a module name, accessible via the new
method ModuleName().

systems in order to retrieve some parameters.
Changed the get_file_system() call to accept a Partition instead of just
a node.
Introduced the namespace boot to the public headers; I guess I should
put all classes in there (compilation of the intel partitioning system
fails without the namespace, because it defines a class Partition itself).

New Directory class for use in file systems; file systems need to publish
their root directory as a subclass of this class.
