Forces the DOS partition type driver to be used when verifying the MBR.
This is particularly useful when using a hybrid MBR & GPT layout as
otherwise MBR verification would mostly likely fail since the GPT
partitions will be returned, even if the MBR is actually valid.

At present this command considers the partitions to be identical if the
start and size are smaller than expected. It should check that they are
the same. Fix this and tidy up the code style a little.

It is a pain to have to specify the value 10 in each call. Add a new
dectoul() function and update the code to use it.

Add a 'mbr' command to let users create or verify MBR partition layout
based on the provided text description. The partition layout is
alternatively read from the 'mbr_parts' environment variable. This can be
used in scripts to help system image flashing tools to ensure proper
partition layout.
The syntax of the text description of the partition list is similar to
the one used by the 'gpt' command. Supported parameters are: name
(currently ignored), start (partition start offset in bytes), size (in
bytes or '-' to expand it to the whole free area), bootable (boolean
flag) and id (MBR partition type). If one wants to create more than 4
partitions, an 'Extended' primary partition (with 0x05 ID) has to be
explicitely provided as a one of the first 4 entries.
Here is an example how to create a 6 partitions (3 on the 'extended
volume'), some of the predefined sizes:
> setenv mbr_parts 'name=boot,start=4M,size=128M,bootable,id=0x0e;
name=rootfs,size=3072M,id=0x83;
name=system-data,size=512M,id=0x83;
name=[ext],size=-,id=0x05;
name=user,size=-,id=0x83;
name=modules,size=100M,id=0x83;
name=ramdisk,size=8M,id=0x83'
> mbr write mmc 0
