PATCH v2 1/1 gpt: add part-uuid and part-num subcommands

It is useful to be able to retrieve a partition UUID or number given the partition label when working with disks that have a GPT. For instance some systems use the partition label to indicate the purpose of the partition (such as "rootfs0" being the 0th root file system in an A/B image scheme).

Add "gpt part-uuid" to retrieve the partition UUID for a given label and "gpt part-num" to retrieve the partition number for a given label along with some documentation.

+Identifying Partitions in U-Boot:
+=================================
+
+Two subcommands may be used to identify partitions by their label. This can be
+useful for determining which partition to use or for setting boot arguments.
+The 'gpt part-uuid' command looks up a partition UUID for a given label and
+stores it in an environment variable. The 'gpt part-num' command looks up a
+partition number for a given label and stores it in an environment variable.
+The first partition with a matching label is used.
+
+For example, to find the UUID of a partition named 'rootfs0' and then use it
+for boot arguments:
+
+U-BOOT> gpt part-uuid mmc 0 rootfs0 rootfsuuid
+U-BOOT> setenv bootargs root=PARTUUID=${rootfsuuid}
+
+Or, for example, to find the partition number for a partition named 'kernel'
+and load a file from it:
+
+U-BOOT> gpt part-num mmc 0 kernel kernelnum
+U-BOOT> fatload mmc 0:${kernelnum} ${loadaddr} zImage
