partitions/efi: use lba-aware partition records

The kernel's GPT implementation currently uses the generic 'struct
partition' type for dealing with legacy MBR partition records.  While this
is is useful for disklabels that we designed for CHS addressing, such as
msdos, it doesn't adapt well to newer standards that use LBA instead, such
as GUID partition tables.  Furthermore, these generic partition structures
do not have all the required fields to properly follow the UEFI specs.

While a CHS address can be translated to LBA, it's much simpler and
cleaner to just replace the partition type.  This patch adds a new
'gpt_record' type that is fully compliant with EFI and will allow, in the
next patches, to add more checks to properly verify a protective MBR,
which is paramount to probing a device that makes use of GPT.
