disk: add get_efi_partition function
Add utility function inside disk.py to find, if any, the first ESP partition of a given disk. The disk is provided as an integer (starting at 1 following OpenGnsys scripts usual values), meaning the (n-1)th disk from the disk array returned from get_disks(). In the future a better mechanism should be put in place to fetch probed disks from a running client. This change is part of the upcoming drop of "IniciarSesion" script in favor of a Python native approach. Specifically regarding UEFI systems.
