[Patch] document defaultignore, lvmignore and lvmok in partman-auto-recipe.txt



Patch for d-i/trunk/installer/doc/devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt attached.
It documents $defaultignore{ }, $lvmignore{ } and $lvmok{ }.
Should probably be sanity checked by someone who knows them backwards though!!!

 Here is another example; this time there is a smaller root partition, and a
 separate /home partition.
