sysupdate: Support volatile-root for finding the root partition

The existing logic can't find the root device in scenarios where
the root has been replaced with an overlay. We support looking
at "/run/systemd/volatile-root" to find the original root, similar
to what systemd-repart and gpt-auto-generator do.
