sfdisk: extend --part-type, support aliases
* add support for aliases to sfdisk scripts
* add shortcuts and aliases to --part-type command
Note that --part-type evaluates shortcuts and aliases as the last
possibility (so after regular type string). This is necessary for
backward compatibility.
Example ('raid' type alias):
# sfdisk --part-type /dev/sdc 1 raid
# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
...
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdc1 2048 204799 202752 99M fd Linux raid autodetect
Example ('L' type shortcut):
# sfdisk --part-type /dev/sdc 1 L
# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
...
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdc1 2048 204799 202752 99M 83 Linux
