--include-partitions and --exclude-partitions now fully exclude partitions from repart. Whenever a partition type is excluded, we don't take any partitions of that type into account at all when running systemd-repart. --skip-partitions= is introduced to do what --exclude-partitions did previously. Any skipped partitions are taken into acount when doing size calculations, but are not yet populated. Why do we need both concepts? Exclusion is needed so that we can use shared repart definitions to generate bootable and non-bootable images. When generating a non-bootable image, we use --exclude-partitions to exclude the ESP partition. Skipping is needed so that we can populate the root partition while skipping the ESP partition, get the roothash of the root partition, use that to generate a UKI, and finally populate the ESP partition with the UKI included.
