Partition type GUIDs

Each partition has a "partition type GUID" that identifies the type of the partition and therefore
partitions of the same type will all have the same "partition type GUID". Each partition also has a
"partition unique GUID" as a separate entry, which as the name implies is a unique id for each
partition.
