Disk manager requests the user specify the "end sector" when it wants the partition size

[jam1garner]

Probably unnecessary once #1053 is merged, but this seems like a notably bad issue when you include the fact that partition overlap checking is currently stubbed out.

Relevant line:

https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/blob/65a5a335aa21ea44fd99fb200e238df54b3c2e47/archinstall/lib/user_interaction/partitioning_conf.py#L229

(isn't just variable name issue, the prompt is "Enter the end sector of the partition")

Sadly this is a known issue, something I've just put off fixing because it's possible to work around it and other features/issues have been more urgent. But we'll get that sorted. (there's a long history surrounding this code that has just haunted me in different shapes).

lol yeah I know the feeling and got that impression, I really appreciate the work on this though, this has been my least annoying install yet by a mile <3

I don't dare to touch this one until we get the last few glitches patched and sorted out. As I know this will cause some major disruptions in the code and configurations - thus requiring more testing.

So once again I have to push this one forward for one more release, but it's a hot topic: https://discord.com/channels/726808923662712894/726809631342592081/1013045203730448494
