bf127238ee gpt: fix partition table indexing and validation
Portions of the code attempted to handle the fact that GPT entries on
disk may be larger than the currently defined struct while others
assumed the data could be indexed by the struct size directly. This
never came up because no utility uses a size larger than 128 bytes but
for the sake of safety we need to do this by the spec.

6078f83638 gpt: properly detect and repair invalid tables
GPT_BOTH_VALID is 4 bits so simple a boolean check is not sufficient.
This broken condition allowed gptprio to trust bogus disk locations in
headers that were marked invalid causing arbitrary disk corruption.

e49d5b587e gpt: new gptprio.next command for selecting priority based partitions
Basic usage would look something like this:

    gptprio.next -d usr_dev -u usr_uuid
    linuxefi ($usr_dev)/boot/vmlinuz mount.usr=PARTUUID=$usr_uuid

After booting the system should set the 'successful' bit on the
partition that was used.
