Allow creating persistent volume onto a separate device

Originally created by @porcino999 on #6621 (Redmine)

For added plausible deniability I suggest adding the option of being able to install the persistent volume on a separate device other than the one running the OS.

This way Tails OS mass storage device 1 is physically different from Tails User Data mass storage 2. User data may be stored on easily concealable/disposable/hidable MicroSD card ; if properly concealed an oppponent cannot prove nor disprove whether Tails was used with or without persistent user data.

Boot sequence could look for external /home directory then revert to internal temporary /home if none are found.
