The gpt bdev module has an off-by-one error. When it
calculates the size of the partition, it simply does
"end - start", when really it should be "end - start + 1".
We cannot just fix it by changing the math here, any
consumers of the partition may have put down metadata
on the partition based on the old size.
So instead add a new SPDK partition type. SPDK will keep
the existing off-by-one behavior when it finds the old
partition type, but will use the correct math when finding
the new partition type.
Fixes issue #2801.
