lib: uuid: add partition type GUID for extended bootloader

The Extended Boot Loader Partition (XBOOTLDR) is a standard defined by
the Discoverable Partitions Specification (DPS) to host boot loader
resources outside of the EFI System Partition ([1], [2]).

Defining this GUID (bc13c2ff-59e6-4262-a352-b275fd6f7172) allows U-Boot
to correctly identify and label these partitions using the "xbootldr"
shorthand.
