f081f8b: efi: Add more GPT partition GUID's

  * Create a new Haiku GPT GUID (BeOS type not defined atm)
  * Haiku BFS UUID by Andre Braga circa 2009 ML post
    "Defining the Haiku UUID for GPT and other uses"
  * I'm putting this GUID on wikipedia and pushing to
    the linux gpt partition tools... should be a good
    way to kickstart it in the ecosystem



Based on the work of Andre Braga circa 2009:
http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/Defining-the-Haiku-UUID-for-GPT-and-other-uses
As Rob responded, while "you need to go out and meet some girls" may be true, Andre made my 
life *much* easier. ;)


I updated the GPT UUID wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

I'm pinging the gptfdisk project to see if they will
add the UUID.

This is a valid UUID and it converts to ASCII:
 BFS1-#---*Haiku!

There were some notes on using timestamps or something,
however this seemed the best option.
If you don't like the UUID, let me know quick as these things tend to be set in stone 
once defined.
