GPT partitioning and MBR repair software

Edit Package gptfdisk
http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/

Partitioning software for GPT disks and to repair MBR
disks. The gdisk and sgdisk utilities (in the gdisk
package) are GPT-enabled partitioning tools; the
fixparts utility (in the fixparts package) fixes some
problems with MBR disks that can be created by buggy
partitioning software.

- Update to 1.0.8
  * Fixed double byte swap operation on writes of partition name data on
    big-endian systems; this is in addition to the double byte swap fix on
    reading partition label data fixed in 1.0.7. (Thanks to Erik Larsson for
    both fixes.)
  * Added feature to gdisk and sgdisk to enable swapping the byte order of
    partition names, so as to correct disks already affected by the preceding
    bug. This option is 'b' on the experts' menu in gdisk and
    -b/--byte-swap-name in sgdisk. This seems advanced/obscure enough that I
    don't want to clutter cgdisk's menu with this option, so I haven't added
    it there.
  * Added type code for the Barebox boot loader (0xbb00;
    4778ED65-BF42-45FA-9C5B-287A1DC4AAB1).
  * Fixed bug that caused spurious warnings about the partition table
    header claiming an invalid size of partition entries when reading
    some MBR disks.
  * Added ARM64 as an architecture for the Mac builds of gdisk and fixparts.
    The official GPT fdisk binaries of these files for macOS are now
    "universal" x86-64/ARM64 binaries, so they will run natively on the new M1
    (ARM64) Macs. The sgdisk and cgdisk binaries, though, remain built only
    for x86-64, because they rely on libraries that are not easily built in
    "universal" form.
  * Fixed double byte swap operation on partition label data on big-endian
    CPUs. This resulted in partition names becoming gibberish on such CPUs.
  * Added three new type codes:
    - 0x0701 - Microsoft Storage Replica
    - 0x0702 - ArcaOS Type 1
    - 0x8401 - Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) block device
- Drop fix-spurious-warnings.patch
