When setting aside a GPT partition for holding the U-Boot environment,
having a partition type GUID [1] indicating "Linux filesystem" (as
most tools default to) is somewhat misleading - and there's no other
well-known type GUID that is better suited. So to have a canonical
value to put into the type field, define
3de21764-95bd-54bd-a5c3-4abe786f38a8
to mean a partition holding a U-Boot environment.
This is a v5 namespace-name GUID [2], generated [3] from a namespace
of "25cbcde0-8642-47c6-a298-1a3a57cd256b" and name "U-Boot
environment".
Should future type GUIDs be defined in the context of U-Boot, it's
sensible to use that same namespace GUID.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

This patch provides support in u-boot for renaming GPT
partitions. The renaming is accomplished via new 'gpt swap'
and 'gpt rename' commands.
The 'swap' mode returns an error if no matching partition names
are found, or if the number of partitions with one name does not equal
the number with the second name. The 'rename' variant always
succeeds as long as a partition with the provided number exists.
Rewriting the partition table has the side-effect that all partitions
end up with "msftdata" flag set. The reason is that partition type
PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID is hard-coded in the gpt_fill_pte()
function. This does not appear to cause any harm.

In order to read the GPT, modify the partition name strings, and then
write out a new GPT, the disk GUID is needed. While there is an
existing accessor for the partition UUIDs, there is none yet for the
disk GUID.

The existing partitions-list parsing in cmd/gpt.c passes a value
from gpt_default() to set_gpt_info() that README.gpt suggests
should begin with 'partitions='. Partition-list strings should
in fact begin with 'uuid_disk', as otherwise the call from
set_gpt_info() to extract_val() to find 'uuid_disk' will fail.
Change README.gpt accordingly.

The optional parameter bootable is added in gpt command to set the
partition attribute flag "Legacy BIOS bootable"
This flag is used in extlinux and so in with distro to select
the boot partition where is located the configuration file
(please check out doc/README.distro for details).
With this parameter, U-Boot can be used to create the boot partition
needed for device using distro.
example of use:
setenv partitions "name=u-boot,size=60MiB;name=boot,size=60Mib,bootable;\
name=rootfs,size=0"
> gpt write mmc 0 $partitions
> part list mmc 0
Partition Map for MMC device 0 -- Partition Type: EFI
Part Start LBA End LBA Name

> part list mmc 0 -bootable devplist
> printenv devplist

Then the distro scripts will search extlinux in partition 2
and not in the first partition.

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.
