[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 1/3] part:efi: add GUID for linux file system data

Previously, Linux used the same GUID for the data partitions as Windows (Basic data partition: EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7). This created problems when dual-booting Linux and Windows in UEFI-GPT Setup, so a new GUID (Linux filesystem data: 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4) was defined jointly by GPT fdisk and GNU Parted developers.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!

short strings can be used in type parameter of gpt command to replace the guid string for the types known by u-boot
partitions = name=boot,size=0x6bc00,type=data; \ name=root,size=0x7538ba00,type=linux; gpt write mmc 0 $partitions
and they are also used to display the type of partition in "part list" command

Changes in v3: - documentation update
Changes in v2: - guid change to type in gpt parameter - remove hardcoded array size and use ARRAY_SIZE - use guid in parameter name - array is renamed to list_guid (it could be not limited to partition type)
