GPT partitioning and MBR repair software

Edit Package gptfdisk
http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/

Partitioning software for GPT disks and to repair MBR
disks. The gdisk and sgdisk utilities (in the gdisk
package) are GPT-enabled partitioning tools; the
fixparts utility (in the fixparts package) fixes some
problems with MBR disks that can be created by buggy
partitioning software.

- Update to 1.0.5
  * Fixed typos and minor formatting issues in man pages
  * Changed number of columns in type code output ("sgdisk -L" and equivalents
    in gdisk and cgdisk) from 3 to 2, since some descriptions are long enough
    that they're ambiguous with three columns.
  * Makefile change: Add $(LDLIBS) support to enable clean static builds (for
    libintl).
  * You can now put the 0xEE partition last in a hybrid MBR using sgdisk.
    (Previously, this was possible with gdisk but not with sgdisk.) See the
    sgdisk man page for details.
  * Added numerous type codes for Container Linux, Veracrypt, and
    Freedesktop.org's Discoverable Partitions Specification
  * Partition type name searches are now case-insensitive.
  * It's now possible to quit out of partition type name searches by typing
    "q".
  * When changing a partition type code, the default is now the current
    type code, not a platform-specific type code.
  * The UEFI GPT fdisk project
    (https://sourceforge.net/projects/uefigptfdisk/) hasn't been updated since
    2016, and is now broken; binaries don't compile with modern GCC
    toolchains, and even when dropping back to Ubuntu 14.04, which worked for
    GPT fdisk 1.0.4, the resulting binary hangs on launch. Therefore, I'm
    dropping support for the EFI build of gdisk, at least unless and until
    UEFI GPT fdisk is fixed.
  * Apple no longer supports building i386 or "fat" binaries in XCode (or if
    they do, they're making it hard), so I've removed that support. GPT fdisk
    macOS binaries are now x86-64 only. Similarly, building now seems to
    require macOS 10.9 or later, so that's now the minimum macOS version. I've
    also re-built my Mac build environment and tweaked Makefile.mac
    appropriately.
