[PATCH 01/14] test: Add a helper class to create disk images

Sat Apr 4 16:03:05 CEST 2026
Provide a way to create disk images which consist of multiple filesystem
images.
Include a cur_dir option to place the disk image in the current
directory rather than in the persistent-data directory. This matches the
behaviour of setup_image() which places disk images in source_dir where
sandbox expects to find them. This flag is a temporary feature and
should be removed once all tests are migrated to use the persistent-data
directory instead.
