Partition scheme can be forced by setting MENDER_PARTITION_SCHEME="gpt" or MENDER_PARTITION_SCHEME="dos", otherwise it will use the scheme from the input image.
Changelog: Add support for GPT partition tables

This change retains the name of the converted input image, and adds the device
type and a mender suffix, so that the user can both recognize the converted
image, and is aware of what the device the converted image supports.

* `IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE` - The base size of the rootfs. The other two
variables modify this value
* `IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SIZE` - The amount of free space to add to the
base size of the rootfs
* `IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR` - Factor determining the amount of free
space to add to the base size of the rootfs
The final size will be the largest of the two calculations. Please see
the `mender_convert_config` file comments for more information.

This is necessary for the U-boot -> EFI -> GRUB integration to be
complete as many boards embedd the U-Boot binary at the start
of the SD/eMMC a.k.a boot-gap.
When MENDER_COPY_BOOT_GAP is enabled, it will be copied from the
input disk image to the output ".sdimg"

Now that the Debian packages are generated for the three architectures,
abandon the temporary location and switch to the master ones.
After the next Mender release, we can switch to the "released" packages.

The goals of the re-write was to achieve the following:
1. It should be easy to extend the tool to support other boards or distributions
2. We should not compile code in the tool (rely on binaries built elsewhere)
compiling code increases complexity, due to requirement of toolchains etc.
3. The tool shall not be designed around specific hardware/platform types
- This is the case today with the usage of --device-type flag
4 The tool should be to convert images without knowing anything about the hardware/platform
relates to above 3.
5. Configuration interface should be simplified
- command line flags -> configuration files
6. Platform specific code shall be provided trough “hooks”, and are not part of the “core” mender-convert code
7. It shall be easy to extend functionality
- support for rootfs overlay to inject user applications/configurations
- ability to override how the Mender Artifact is generated (to be able to sign and include state-scripts)
8. Code structure should be modular
- Eases Maintenance and possibility of making isolated changes
