Dynamic parititioning scheme

[lzap]

I've noticed that we have an undocumented feature (surprise!): dynamic partitioning scheme. Since Foreman does not ship with any dynamic partitioning scheme, I've decided to file a PR to include one with the following explanation:

When a partition template contains line starting with "#Dynamic", the contents will be put into %pre shell scriplet rather and it's expected it creates a file "/tmp/diskpart.cfg" which is then included into the Kickstart partitioning section. This allows generating parititioning scheme on the managed node befure
Anaconda starts installation.

This template is an example of such dynamic partitioning scheme. It follows recommended scheme of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for servers (no extra allocation for hibernation):

#Dynamic (do not remove this line)

MEMORY=$((`grep MemTotal: /proc/meminfo | sed 's/^MemTotal: *//'|sed 's/ .*//'` / 1024))
if [ "$MEMORY" -lt 2048 ]; then
    SWAP_MEMORY=$(($MEMORY * 2))
elif [ "$MEMORY" -lt 8192 ]; then
    SWAP_MEMORY=$MEMORY
elif [ "$MEMORY" -lt 65536 ]; then
    SWAP_MEMORY=$(($MEMORY / 2))
else
    SWAP_MEMORY=32768
fi

@lzap did this PR get reopened on the new repo?

Yes I think we can close this one.
