Support the Discoverable Partition Standard for GPT partitions
Metadata
Current evaluation
Discoverable Partition Specification GUID support is incomplete: BIOS boot, XBOOTLDR, and AMD64 root are allowed, but GPT types remain restricted to a six-entry GptType enum.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Status: Triaged and the request is valid and specific. Commit 1547a40 (#286) added the DPS BIOS boot, XBOOTLDR, and AMD64 root GUIDs, but GPTStructureItem.structure_type still validates against a six-value GptType enum, rejecting arbitrary and other architecture-specific DPS GUIDs; the autogenerated IMAGECRAFT-100 comment is not evidence of completion.

Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
Support any GUID that maps to the Discoverable Partitions Specification: https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification/
This can be done either by supporting any GPT partition type or by supporting all of those types specifically.
### The problem it solves
Supports a broad standard.
