The current extra_partition plugin uses predictable variable names (the
configuration must predict the image partition label or uuid). This has two
inconveniences:

- an extra partition that has a specific label (or uuid) is doomed with the
  associated variable. The partition cannot be configured unless the label
  (or uuid) is changed.
- two partitions with same label from distincts .wks cannot have different
  content.

The first commit increases the tests. It now tests several files can be included
and that the file system type can be specified. It also simplifies the 'wic ls'
command by removing unneeded pipes.

The second commit allows the new suffix _name-%s to be appended to
IMAGE_EXTRA_PARTITION_FILES. This variable will be preferred whenever the
.wks specifies a name in the --sourceparams option.

For example:
  an image may define:
    IMAGE_EXTRA_PARTITION_FILES_name-foo = "bar.conf"
  and the .wks line have line:
    part --source extra_partition --sourceparams "name=foo"
