wic: Add partition type for msdos partition tables

In order to create a msdos partition table disk image that can auto
expand after the image is copied to an SD card, wic needs the ability
to have a primary partition as the last entry.  The desired use case
is to be able to create an A/B update partition image scheme with a
/var volume that can be auto expanded to the remainder of the SD card
at run time.

The typical .wks file will look similar to the following:

bootloader --ptable msdos
part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=u-boot.imx" \
   --ondisk mmcblk --no-table --align 1 --size 1
part /boot --source bootimg-partition \
   --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=vfat --label boot --active --align 4 --size 16
part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6_boot.otaimg" \
   --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label otaboot --align 4 --type logical
part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6.otaimg" \
   --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label otaroot --align 4 --type logical
part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6_boot.otaimg" \
   --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label otaboot_b --align 4 --type logical
part / --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6.otaimg" \
   --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label otaroot_b --align 4 --type logical
part /var --source rawcopy --sourceparams="file=imx6_var.otaimg" \
    --ondisk mmcblk --fstype=ext4 --label fluxdata --align 4

Without the patch applied, wic will generate an SD card image that looks like:

Disk boot.img: 890940s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

Number  Start    End      Size     Type      File system  Flags
 1      2056s    48001s   45946s   primary   fat16        lba
 2      48008s   132467s  84460s   primary   ext4
 3      132472s  454467s  321996s  primary   ext4
 4      454471s  890939s  436469s  extended               lba
 5      454472s  538931s  84460s   logical   ext4
 6      538936s  860931s  321996s  logical   ext4
 7      860936s  890939s  30004s   logical   ext4         boot

With the patch applied a primary partition can be created at the end
of the image which can be expanded to fill the free space on the media
where the image has been copied, which looks like:

Disk boot.img: 890940s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

Number  Start    End      Size     Type      File system  Flags

 5      48008s   132467s  84460s   logical   ext4
 6      132472s  454467s  321996s  logical   ext4
 7      454472s  538931s  84460s   logical   ext4
 8      538936s  860931s  321996s  logical   ext4
 3      860936s  890939s  30004s   primary   ext4         boot
