o Detect when Boot Camp is enabled (i.e. the MBR mirrors the GPT).
o When Boot Camp is enabled, update the MBR whenever we write the GPT.
o Creation of a Boot Camp enabled GPT is not supported.
o Automatically disable Boot Camp when the GPT has been changed so that
there's either no EFI partition or no HFS+ partition.
o The first 4 partitions (by index) get mirrored in the MBR.

This fixes the problem, when the secondary GPT header is not erased when
partition table destroyed. Move equal operations from g_part_gpt_create
and g_part_gpt_recover to the separate function g_gpt_set_defaults.

Remove message about non empty bootcode, we can not break something
while GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT is defined.
But without GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT any changes in EBR are allowed and we
can accidentally wipe the boot code. To do not break anything save
the first EBR chunk and keep it untouched each time when we are
changing EBR. Note that we are still not support boot code for EBR.

small non fatal inconsistency. EBR may contain boot loader and sometimes
it just has some garbage data. Now this does not prevent FreeBSD to use
extended partitions. But since we do not support bootcode for EBR we mark
tables which have non empty boot area as corrupt. This does make them
readonly and we can not damage this data.

This was needed for recover implementation.
Implement the recover command for GPT. Now GPT will marked as
corrupt when any of three types of corruption will be detected:
1. Damaged primary GPT header or table
2. Damaged secondary GPT header or table
3. Secondary header is not located in the last LBA
Marked GPT becomes read-only. Any changes with corrupt table
are prohibited. Only "destroy" and "recover" commands are allowed.
