The discovery partitions spec so far suggested we should define
arch-specific partition type uuids only for archs that have EFI. Let's
change that and invite people to define them for any arch. Why? Even if
GPT is defined as part of the UEFI spec it's quite useful independently
of it, too. Specifically, our image dissection logic makes use of it,
i.e. systemd-nspawn, systemd-gpt-auto-generator, systemd-repart,
RootImage=, portable services, and so on. None of these tools are
related to UEFI in any way.
Hence, let's open this up.
I have no idea if this is going to cause rendering problems, and it is fairly
hard to check. So let's just merge this, and if it github markdown processor
doesn't like it, revert.
The verity partition types are per-architecture already, and they contain the
hash data independently of whether we are on a given architecture. (Or in other
words, we would make *use* this partition on some architecture, but the
contents always *exists*.)
If the auto-discovered swap partition is LUKS encrypted, decrypt it
automatically.
This aligns with the Discoverable Partitions Specification, though I've
also updated it to explicitly mention that LUKS is now supported here.
Since systemd retries any key already in the kernel keyring, if the swap
partition has the same passphrase as the root partition, the user won't
be prompted a second time for a second passphrase.

This updates the docs about using fdisk/gdisk to make partitions with the right
partition type UUID as defined in the discoverable partitions spec.
Improve wording/grammar/formatting, and reflect that gdisk supports this as
well nowadays; see https://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/revisions.html
This specification is useful independently of UEFI, so avoid making assertions
about UEFI. Also reword the intro to say what this is about in the very first
sentence. Closes#16570.
