[PATCH v3 3/5] env: scsi: Add support for partition type GUID based environment

Add support for locating SCSI environment partition using GPT type
GUID instead of unique UUID. This enables the saveenv command to
work with partitions identified by their type rather than unique
identifiers, providing flexibility for systems where partition
UUIDs may vary across devices but types remain constant.
Introduce a Kconfig choice statement to select between three partition
lookup methods. The choice provides mutually exclusive options:
ENV_SCSI_PART_USE_UUID (default), ENV_SCSI_PART_USE_TYPE_GUID, and
ENV_SCSI_PART_USE_HW. The corresponding string configs depend on their
respective selection method, creating a clear configuration structure.
Introduce CONFIG_ENV_SCSI_PART_TYPE_GUID configuration option that
allows specifying a partition type GUID for environment storage.
When SCSI_ENV_PART_USE_TYPE_GUID is enabled, the environment subsystem
uses the type GUID based lookup method via
scsi_get_blk_by_type_guid() to find the first matching partition.
Refactor env/scsi.c to use compile-time preprocessor conditionals
instead of runtime string checks. Replace the previous logic that
checked if CONFIG_ENV_SCSI_PART_UUID was empty with explicit #if/#elif
branches for each method.
Elevate hardware partition selection from an implicit fallback to an
explicit choice (ENV_SCSI_PART_USE_HW), improving configuration clarity.
Move ENV_SCSI_HW_PARTITION to depend on this new option.

Changes in v3:
- Introduce a new choice config: ENV_SCSI_PART_USE_HW for
ENV_SCSI_HW_PARTITION
- Refactor env_scsi_get_part and env_scsi_load functions based
on the choice configs
Changes in v2:
- Introduce a Kconfig choice config to select between UUID-based
and type GUID-based partition lookup methods.
