5.4 BSD type partition table partitioner

The BSD partition table partitioner extends the PC type partition table partitioner. Both the partition tables shares the same disk; the BSD disklabel lies in one of PC type partitions. The functions read_bsd_partitions and commit_bsd_partitions are implemented. In addition to PC type partition table disk parameters there is one disk parameter of interval type identified by UP_ID_PCnumpars specifying the number of the last true PC type partition and eight disk parameters of interval type identified by UP_ID_PCBSDpart(x) (x is a character from a to h) specifying partitions labelled by a, ..., h in the BSD disklabel.
