geom_part: make it possible recovering broken GPT after some LBAs cut off

Browse Source 
This is followup to r365477.

If pre-formatted device has GPT and a partition covering
last available LBAs and the device is attached using
a bridge reducing amount of LBAs, then it could be not enough
forcing GEOM to use primary GPT. Also, we should make it possible
to recover GPT and this requires either deleting or resizing the partition.

This change enables "gpart delete" and "gpart resize" commands
on corrupted GPT with following "gpart recover".

It still does not allow modifying corrupted GPT without
preliminary setting sysctl kern.geom.part.check_integrity=0

For example:

# gpart show da0
=>        34  3906963389  da0  GPT  (1.8T) [CORRUPT]
          34      262144    1  ms-reserved  (128M)
      262178        2014       - free -  (1.0M)
      264192  3906764943    2  freebsd-swap  (1.8T)
# gpart resize -i 2 -s 3900000000 da0
# gpart recover da0
