block: add support for partition table defined in OF

Add support for partition table defined in Device Tree. Similar to how
it's done with MTD, add support for defining a fixed partition table in
device tree.

A common scenario for this is fixed block (eMMC) embedded devices that
have no MBR or GPT partition table to save storage space. Bootloader
access the block device with absolute address of data.

This is to complete the functionality with an equivalent implementation
with providing partition table with bootargs, for case where the booargs
can't be modified and tweaking the Device Tree is the only solution to
have an usabe partition table.

The implementation follow the fixed-partitions parser used on MTD
devices where a "partitions" node is expected to be declared with
"fixed-partitions" compatible in the OF node of the disk device
(mmc-card for eMMC for example) and each child node declare a label
and a reg with offset and size. If label is not declared, the node name
is used as fallback. Eventually is also possible to declare the read-only
property to flag the partition as read-only.
