As the Supervisor is a privileged container, it has access to host /dev, and therefore has access
to boot, data, and state balenaOS partitions. This commit sets up the framework for the following:
- Finds the /dev partition that corresponds to each partition based on partition label
- Mounts the partitions into set mountpoints in the device
- Removes reliance on env vars and mountpoints provided by host's start-balena-supervisor script
- Simplifies host path querying by centralizing these queries through methods in lib/host-utils.ts
This particular changes env vars for and mounts the boot partition.
Since the Supervisor would no longer rely on container `run` arguments provided by a host script,
this change moves Supervisor closer to being able to start itself (Supervisor-as-an-app).

This means that configuration backend tests no longer use stubs and
(mostly) avoid internal dependencies in the tests. Instead of stubs and
mock-fs, the tests use [testfs](https://github.com/balena-io-modules/mocha-pod#working-with-the-filesystem)
which allows working with a real filesystem and ensuring everything is
re-set between tests.
This is the last change needed in order to be able to merge #1971. Here is the list of changes
- [x] Migrate splash image backend tests
- [x] Migrate extlinux backend tests
- [x] Migrate config.txt backend tests
- [x] Migrate extra-uenv config tests
- [x] Migrate odmdata config tests
- [x] Migrate config utils tests
- [x] Migrate device-config tests
