On Linux block devices used for vdevs will by partitioned. The block device must be large enough for an 64M partition starting at offset of 2048 sectors (part1), and a second 64M reserved partition at the end of the device (part9). This commit adds a capacity check when creating the GPT label to immediately detect a device which is too small. With the existing code this would be caught slightly latter when attempting to use the partition. Catching it sooner let's us print a more useful error.

Motivation and Context
Improved error reporting.
Description
On Linux block devices used for vdevs will by partitioned. The block device must be large enough for an 64M partition starting at offset of 2048 sectors (part1), and a second 64M reserved partition at the end of the device (part9).
This commit adds a capacity check when creating the GPT label to immediately detect a device which is too small. With the existing code this would be caught slightly latter when attempting to use the partition. Catching it sooner let's us print a more useful error.
How Has This Been Tested?
Locally verified an error message is printed for block devices below the minimum size.
