doc/README.gpt: define partition type GUID for U-Boot environment
When setting aside a GPT partition for holding the U-Boot environment, having a partition type GUID [1] indicating "Linux filesystem" (as most tools default to) is somewhat misleading - and there's no other well-known type GUID that is better suited. So to have a canonical value to put into the type field, define 3de21764-95bd-54bd-a5c3-4abe786f38a8 to mean a partition holding a U-Boot environment. This is a v5 namespace-name GUID [2], generated [3] from a namespace of "25cbcde0-8642-47c6-a298-1a3a57cd256b" and name "U-Boot environment". Should future type GUIDs be defined in the context of U-Boot, it's sensible to use that same namespace GUID.
