Hi,

Please, review implementation of partition UUID support in wic.

It contains two options: --part-type and --use-uuid
--part-type allows to set partition type UUID. It was incorrectly
implemted in wic and now it's hopefully fixed.

--use-uuid makes wic to generate random globally unique identifier
(GUID) for the partition and configure bootloader to boot from it
using root=PARTUUID=<GUID> in kernel command line.

This technique makes boot process more deterministic and reliable
for at least two reasons:
- It allows to boot the same image from different devices
- It fixes possible boot issues caused by using device names in
  kernel commandline as GUID doesn't change unlike device names.

Ed Bartosh (9):
  wic: Add --use-uuid partition option
  wic: Generate random uuid for partition
  wic: Fix format string
  wic: Refactored getting root device name
  wic: Add parameter 'uuid' to Image.add_partition method
  wic: Set type GUID and UUID for partition
  wic: Use partition UUID in directdisk-gpt
  wic: oe-selftest: Configure testing of gpt/UUID image
  wic: Add help for --part-type and --use-uuid options
