[Bug 2070176] [NEW] Missing bootable flag on partition

[Paul Mars]

Public bug reported:

When creating a disk with a GPT schema, no "bootable" flag is set on any
partition. This is problematic in some cases, for example u-boot,
relying on the command "part list <interface> <dev> -bootable <varname>"
to find the disk to boot on.

The Legacy BIOS bootable attribute needs to be set, see
https://elixir.bootlin.com/u-boot/v2016.11/source/doc/README.gpt
