cfdaf4caa2 part:efi: add bootable parameter in gpt command
The optional parameter bootable is added in gpt command to set the
partition attribute flag "Legacy BIOS bootable"

This flag is used in extlinux and so in with distro to select
the boot partition where is located the configuration file
(please check out doc/README.distro for details).

With this parameter, U-Boot can be used to create the boot partition
needed for device using distro.

example of use:

setenv partitions "name=u-boot,size=60MiB;name=boot,size=60Mib,bootable;\
                   name=rootfs,size=0"

> gpt write mmc 0 $partitions

> part list mmc 0

Partition Map for MMC device 0  --   Partition Type: EFI

Part	Start LBA	End LBA		Name
	Attributes
	Type GUID
	Partition GUID
  1	0x00000022	0x0001e021	"u-boot"
	attrs:	0x0000000000000000

	attrs:	0x0000000000000004
	type:	ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7

> part list mmc 0 -bootable devplist

> printenv devplist

devplist=2

Then the distro scripts will search extlinux in partition 2
and not in the first partition.

bcb41dcaef uuid: add selection by string for known partition type GUID
short strings can be used in type parameter of gpt command
to replace the guid string for the types known by u-boot

      partitions = name=boot,size=0x6bc00,type=data; \
                   name=root,size=0x7538ba00,type=linux;
      gpt write mmc 0 $partitions

and they are also used to display the type of partition
in "part list" command

b38c108a98 part:efi: add GUID for linux file system data
Previously, Linux used the same GUID for the data partitions as Windows
(Basic data partition: EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7).
This created problems when dual-booting Linux and Windows in UEFI-GPT
Setup, so a new GUID (Linux filesystem data:
0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4) was defined jointly by GPT fdisk
and GNU Parted developers.

0c7e8d1317 gpt: support random UUIDs without setting environment variables
Currently, an environment variable must be used to store the randomly
generated UUID for each partition. This is not necessary, so make storing
the UUID optional. Now passing uuid_disk and uuid are optional when random
UUIDs are enabled.
