parted: Allow passing negative numbers to specify partition boundary relative to disk end (#129)

Browse source 
* Allow passing negative numbers to specify partition boundary relative to disk end
Fixes: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/43369

* parted: unit test case, create partition with part_start: -1GiB

* fs_type parameter is not really optional for negative part_start parameter

* Revert "fs_type parameter is not really optional for negative part_start parameter"

This reverts commit 800b1cb00b.

Instead: added notes and documentation about netagive part_start and fs_type.

* include fs_type in negative part_start example

installed on the system is before version 3.1, the module queries the kernel
through C(/sys/) to obtain disk information. In this case the units CHS and
CYL are not supported.
- Negative C(part_start) start values were rejected if C(fs_type) was not given.
This bug was fixed in parted 3.2.153. If you want to use negative C(part_start),
specify C(fs_type) as well or make sure your system contains newer parted.
