tar2vm: reworked to use sfdisk

The issue (#28002) resulting in vm image build error reading Syntax error at or above line 5 in file '/etc/lilo-loop.conf' was caused by fdisk-2.22 changing its "-l" option output format to drop the very mention of the long irrelevant crap named "CHS". The problem is, however, that we still need that crap to piggyback a loop device's fake geometry to lilo while installing it there. Reported by icesik@.
