[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 0/6] solve issues in gpt management

in the last version v2017.09, I see some regression for the command

$> gpt write mmc 0 "name=test,start=0x4400,size=0"
$> gpt write mmc 0 "name=test,size=0"

I use sandbox python test to verify if this issue is also present in
v2017.11-rc1 and when I check the log tests, I detect a other issue
for the swap / rename feature : the offset and the size is always 1MB
align, that cause issue if the partition wasn't initially 1MB align.
And it is the case of the test (the size of partition change after the
command gpt rename or swap)

I propose this patch-set with:
- updated gpt test to highlight the issues
- my proposed correction for the 2 issues

tests are ok on v2017.11-rc1


Changes in v3:
- update after Stephen Warren comments
- Add partition name in persistent data and test them
- split test_gpt.py update: commit to add the test write command
- tests are now OK for each commit
- Indicate LBA end error for rename command in test/py and commit message

Changes in v2:
- Split test to functional change
