 Greater use of blkid / libblkid
 -------------------------------
 
-guestfs_zero should use wipefs.  See wipefs(8).

 There are various useful functions in libblkid for listing partitions,
 devices etc which we are essentially duplicating in the daemon.  It
 would make more sense to just use libblkid for this.
