025d8ac80d board/*/genimage.cfg: use partition-type-uuid U where relevant
This commit changes to use partition-type-uuid = U instead of
c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b where relevant for the EFI System
Partition.

b59f938302 board/*/genimage.cfg: use partition-table-type = "gpt" for genimage-15
Genimage 15 deprecated the gpt option and now prints a warning when it is
used:

INFO: hdimage(sdcard.img): The option 'gpt' is deprecated. Use 'partition-table-type' instead

So change the genimage configuration files to use that instead.

3efb5e31fc board, boot, package: remove usage of startup.nsh in EFI partition
The startup.nsh file is useless to boot EFI payloads. We just need to
follow the naming detection specified in the UEFI spec.
The EFI payload need to be placed in the boot/efi folder in the EFI partition
and follow the architecture naming as described below:
32bit : bootia32.efi
x64 : bootx64.efi
aarch32 : bootarm.efi
aarch64 : bootaa64.efi

This naming is already right in the packages involved (systemd, grub2,
gummiboot), therefore we just need to drop the generation of the
startup.nsh file.

The usage of the startup.nsh in genimage is also dropped to avoid errors in
the image generation.

4e89862706 board/pc/genimage-efi.cfg: align the rootfs to start at 16MB offset from start of the image
For grub-efi we can align the rootfs to start at exactly 16MB from the
beginning of the disk.  This can be done by reducing the vfat partition to
be 32 KB smaller than its 16MB size, just like the offset of the vfat
partition.

3468ef16fa configs/pc_x86_64_efi: use genimage GPT partition table support
Thanks to the introduction of GPT partition table support in genimage,
this commit improves the pc_x86_64_efi_defconfig to remove the use of
the custom script creating the image.

Tested in QEMU, not on a physical device.

So:
- revert commit fee29b05bb7db25e37c8a5175ce00dc712554edf[1]
- add GPT support
- tweak shell script to add the correct UUID in genimage config.

fee29b05bb configs/pc_x86_64_efi: use a GPT partition table
Since all EFI-based systems support GPT, this commit changes
pc_x86_64_efi to use a GPT partition table. It shows an example of how
to craft a disk image with GPT partitioning instead of MBR. This is
achieved by means of a post-image script which uses
mkdosfs+mcopy+sfdisk, since genimage is unable to deal with GPT. Long
term, it would be ideal if genimage had GPT support, but until then,
this script shows how to achieve creating a GPT-based disk image.

The script was kept as simple as possible to make it easy to understand
and adapt for other purposes.

The root filesystem location is passed to the kernel by a partition
UUID, so it is possible to boot on QEMU, directly from the disk image,
or dump the image to a physical device.

4e4545246f configs/pc_x86_64_{bios, efi}_defconfig: new samples
Add two new sample defconfigs oriented towards real PC targets.

It adds two variants for BIOS and EFI boot strategy.

On the build side we enable eudev to autoload relevant kernel
modules/support when necessary.

It adds a bunch of drivers and extra filesystem support which is by no
means extensive/complete, mostly geared towards the hardware i've got at
hand to test with.
This is accomplished by adding on top of the Qemu x86_64 kernel sample
config.

Build connman since by using eudev network interfaces get renamed on
boot thus complicating any form of automatic and friendly bringup.
It also makes Wi-Fi configuration/support easier.

In principle these base defconfigs should work just fine for other
storage media != pendrive like sata or ssd disk, however driver support
isn't there quite yet, and pendrive is mostly supported by usb storage
plus the usual usb host controller drivers.

Tested on old Lenovo laptop (BIOS) and Asus Zenbook (EFI).
