[improvement] Add encrypted partition mounting by it size or disk serial number #210

Description

@HypnoticST8

Due to the lack of UUID for a given VeraCrypt-encrypted partition and the lack of 100% repeatability of mapping a specific partition each time the system starts to a specific device (the specific partition that I want to automatically mount in most cases is mapped to /dev/sda1, but sometimes to /dev/sdb1 , /dev/sdc1 or other) it is not possible to reliably automount a specific partition. Some additional logic would need to be added to enable reliable automounting of a given partition. Two simple solutions come to my mind right now. The first is to add the ability to mount partitions by their size. This may not be the best method because another partition may also have the same size, but it is not that likely. It would be best to use the serial number of the disk. If the above is too time-consuming, you could at least add it to the favorites menu where the partitions are displayed - their size or serial number, which allows for quick identification of a given partition without the need to go to Favorites -> Megage Favorites -> add a volume -> disc icon
