[PATCH v1 3/4] 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 CONFIG_SCSI_ENV_PART_TYPE_GUID configuration option that
allows specifying a partition type GUID for environment storage.
When enabled, the environment subsystem uses the new type GUID
based lookup method via scsi_get_blk_by_type_guid() to find the
first matching partition.

This change maintains backward compatibility with the existing
UUID-based approach.
