There are some issues that must be resolved before blivet can do anything useful. The two that this PR addresses are multiple LVM VGs with the same name and disklabel corruption that prevents parted from acknowledging a disklabel when partitions are present on the disk.

Until the lvm tools accept UUID in place of VG name for at least lvremove, vgchange, and vgremove we have no way to work with multiple VGs with the same name. This related bug has been sitting since 2008: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449832

The first patch enables parted to proceed with a partially-corrupt GPT disklabel, but I suspect it will not cover all such cases, hence the exception handling.

There will soon be an accompanying anaconda PR that handles these exceptions by showing the error and the suggested course of action to the user.
