Log:
- Relax sanitazion requirements in libdisk, as a previous commit enabling this sanitization broke sysinstall on some disks. This was due to the disks reporting a geometry that was incorrectly sanitized by sysinstall. This makes
   the sanitization consistent with fdisk.

*snip*

+       if (disk->bios_hd > 256)
                sane = 0;


The number of heads cannot exceed 255. There are only 8-bits
in which the number of heads is stored. This also applies to
PC98, BTW.
