We use QEMU's virtual FAT support to avoid having to create a disk image, but this support is limited to about 500MB. Artifacts produced by the GCC 12 CI job exceed this size. Add support for creating a FAT partition image and MBR-partitioned disk image and use it when the file system is too large for QEMU.

112 | this is somewhat less than 500MB... Might also want to drop a comment in saying that we bother checking the size because it's a lot faster to just use qemu virtual FAT when we can... (a trick I need to teach my full-test.sh) |

Love it now.
Not sure how much cleanup is needed in this env, but I think the whole thing is thrown away so you don't need to cleanup image.fat and image.mbr, right?
