This is a request for comment, because it is incomplete. I am trying to figure out better ways to test the higher-level functionality but am having problems obtaining a cooperating virtual machine.

There are a few points:
* What makes this a bit tricky is that LUKS is handled as both a device and a format. There is a sense
in which it is both.
* I decided to start from the bottom up this time, working on resizing the format first, rather than worrying about the Actions.
* If the resize of a LUKSDevice is handled as just a resize of its slave's LUKS format then blivet.resizeDevice() does not need to change at all to handle LUKS devices AFAICT.
* However, it does not make much sense to resize a LUKS format outside the LUKS device...since the format knows nothing about the size of the, e.g., filesystem that it encrypts. And yet, it is still possible. Not sure whether it is necessary or desirable to do anything about that.
* I have not handled the dependencies between the actions.
