docs/manual: update documentation about partition-type-uuid convention in genimage.cfg
Whenever possible, we want to use the "shortcuts" provided by genimage for the partition-type-uuid values: - U for the EFI System Partition - F for FAT32 partitions - L for root filesystem partitions and other Linux filesystems In follow-up commits, we will convert existing genimage.cfg to this convention, except for the root filesystem, if the existing genimage.cfg specifies a partition-type-uuid that doesn't match the one that "L" would imply. In this case, we will keep things as-is to not break existing setups. However, for all future genimage.cfg files, we recommend to use "L" for the root filesystem.

prefer to have it explicitly specified in our +genimage.cfg+

files. Finally, these shortcuts should be used without double

specified, lower-case letters should be used.
