Some boards provide main U-Boot as a dedicated partition to SPL.
Currently we can define either a fixed partition number or an MBR
partition type to define which partition is to be used.
Partition numbers tend to conflict with established partitioning schemes
of Linux distros. MBR partitioning is more and more replaced by GPT
partitioning.
Allow defining a partition type GUID identifying the partition to load
main U-Boot from.
