installer: Ignore small devices.

Filter the devices that are smaller than 2GiB in the device selection list.

* gnu/installer/parted.scm (%min-device-size): New variable.
(non-install-devices): Rename it ...
(eligible-devices): ... this way. Filter the install device as well as the
small devices.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-partitioning-page): Adapt it.
