Torxed issue 1083 (#1090)

* Optimized a bunch of partprobe calls. Namely fixed sleep calls, added optional path to the general archinstall.partprobe() call. And fixed some error handling in a few places which should tell us where #1083 might be going wrong.

* Fixed some flake8 complaints

* Fixed sleep having a min() of 0.1 or given value.

* Fixed sleep having a correct range variable.

* Fixed sleep logic to use max() instead of min() as it will never use the higer sleep values otheride

* Added error handling to Partition().partprobe() as it would cause certain issues with USB disks. Also made Partition()._safe_uuid more safe by eliminating exceptions being raised.
