Switch to GPT partition format. This changes switches to using the GPT partition format. The GPT format is more modern and flexible. It allows us to create up to 128 partitions, has a crc on the partition table data, and has a backup partition. It should also make it easier for us to incorporate a boot loader directly in firmware (if we use EFI) since GPT is the recommended format. The image_to_usb...
