Grow system partition during boot when started from USB

Originally created by @segfault on #15319 (Redmine)

Currently, Tails Installer creates a system partition if size 4 GiB or 8 GiB during installation. It would vastly increase the size of the USB image if we would include such a big partition in it, and unnecessarily so, because the partition is mostly empty. The plan is to instead ship a USB image of minimum size, and increase the size of the system partition during the first boot of the device.
