Description 
 ----------- 


 Currently, all the raid tests are working this way: 

 - create some partitions on disk 1 
 - create the same exact set of partitions on the next disk. 
 - iterate the same exact operation for all the disks. 

 However, on both sle 12 and 15, there is possiblity to clone partitions: 
 ![sle12](https://w3.nue.suse.com/~jrivrain/clone_this_disk_sle12.png) ![sle15](https://w3.nue.suse.com/~jrivrain/clone_partitions_to_other_devices_sle15.png) 

 Using this would drastically reduce the execution time of test modules, and makes more sense, the real users are more about to proceed this way. 


 Acceptance criteria 
 ------------------- 

 - Modify There is also the existing test modules possibility to use "clone this disk/partition" 

 ### Additional info: 

 Another way is covered by another ticket :https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/40679 
 We can choose first "raid" > "add raid", choose some disks and then apply partitions to all of them at once. But this way seems to be unrelibale at the moment, and yet the [documented way](https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.expert_partitioner.html#sec.yast.system.raid) uses the first method. 


 This could be covered later in another ticket. 

 Acceptance criteria 
 ------------------- 

 - Modify the existing test modules to use "clone this disk/partition"
