Online encryption is much faster then offline encryption when using
cryptsetup. To take advantage of this, when loop devices are available,
let's use online encryption instead off offline encryption to encrypt
partitions.
The online encryption logic is the same logic as was removed in
48a09a8fff, except that it's now
integrated with PartitionTarget to ensure that logic outside of
partition_target_encrypt() has to minimally change regardless of
whether we're doing online or offline encryption.
