libparted: fix snap radius so that it is using half (#665496)

The snap radius didn't match the documentation, it has been
   using +/- unit size instead +/- 0.5 * unit (eg. 500KB for a MB
   unit). This caused problems when specifying 1MB, 1GB, etc. as a
   partition start or end resulting in partitions being created
   that were nowhere near the specified size.

Only revert to the old behavior if cylinders are used in order to
give parted more flexibility when snapping the partition start/end.
