gpt: prefer disk size from header over firmware

Browse source 
The firmware and the OS may disagree on the disk configuration and size.
Although such a setup should be avoided users are unlikely to know about
the problem, assuming everything behaves like the OS. Tolerate this as
best we can and trust the reported on-disk location over the firmware
when looking for the backup GPT. If the location is inaccessible report
the error as best we can and move on.
