d52e59ea62 Include lsb-release in base packages
For whatever reason, on Debian 12, without lsb-release the
ansible_distribution_release variable is undefined, even though it
isn't. To work around this, just ensure we always have lsb-release
installed to provide a reliable OS version fact.

0d32e27ea9 Modify detect match to 3%
This will handle corner cases of RAID devices that are a little smaller

range, while still being close enough.

e8aed11693 Handle target_disk detection strings
For preseed installs with pvcbootstrapd, implement "detect" strings,
which can be used instead of fixed block paths to determine the required
disk from a fixed set of information available to a human provisioning
the servers, or from Redfish.

The basic idea is thus:

  1. The user specifies some physical attributes of the disk, either
  manually in a detect string of the preseed configuration, or by a
  physical identifier that Redfish can identify.

  2. Redfish takes this and either passes it, or crafts a detect string
  itself based on its storage information, which is then passed to the
  installer preseed as the target_disk value.

  3. The installer uses the provided values along with the output of the
  "lsscsi" command to determine which block device to use for the system
  disk.

This supersedes and enhances the original "model-based" detection with
far greater reliability and the ability to specify specific indexes.
