Support cloning to a loopback device #18

With some additional scripting around rpi-clone, this allows cloning into a loopback-mounted image file.

This is a first step towards fixing geerlingguy/rpi-clone#9.

These changes were previously submitted at https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone/pull/179 and have been in use in my project for a year or two before that PR was submitted recently. Now I've just rebased and reviewed them, the changes still applied without issue.

I frankly didn't want to deep dive into Bills code. Given your detailed analysis I'm going to deep dive to be able to comment. But I'm busy the next couple of weeks with other stuff and it will take some time until I'm able to comment.
