[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 3/3] uuid: add selection by string for known partition type GUID

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

  Partition Map for MMC device 0  --   Partition Type: EFI

  Part	Start LBA	End LBA		Name
	Attributes
	Type GUID
	Partition GUID
    1	0x00000022	0x0000037f	"boot"
	attrs:	0x0000000000000000
	type:	ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
	type:	data
	guid:	d117f98e-6f2c-d04b-a5b2-331a19f91cb2
    2	0x00000380	0x003a9fdc	"root"
	attrs:	0x0000000000000000
	type:	0fc63daf-8483-4772-8e79-3d69d8477de4
	type:	linux
	guid:	25718777-d0ad-7443-9e60-02cb591c9737

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)
