Add support for adding empty partition entries. I.e. skip partition

helps to construct BSD disklabels with /usr or /var at dedicated
partitions.

To accomodate the need to have partitions named or numbered in a certain
way, the
.Nm
utility allows for the specification of empty partitions.
For example, to create an image that is compatible with partition layouts
found in
.Pa /etc/disktab ,
the 'd' partition often needs to be skipped.
This is accomplished by inserting an unused partition after the first 2
partition specifications.
It is worth noting at this time that the BSD scheme will automatically
skip the 'c' partition by virtue of it referring to the entire disk.
To create an image that is compatible with the qp120at disk, use the
.Nm
utility as follows:
.Dl % mkimg -s bsd -b /boot/boot -p freebsd-ufs:=root-file-system.ufs \
-p freebsd-swap::20M -p- -p- -p- -p- -p freebsd-ufs:=usr-file-system.ufs \
-o bsd.img
.Pp
For partitioning schemes that feature partition labels, the
.Nm
utility supports assigning labels to the partitions specified.
