nixos/manual: rectify partitioning commands for UEFI/GPT
For GPT partition tables, there is no primary/logical/extended partition type, and the layout of the mkpart command options slightly differs depending on whether parted operates on an MBR or a GPT partition table. This has so far resulted in the string `primary` being assigned to the GUID partition name field, which is probably unintended. Rectify this by giving the GUID partitions sensible names and setting `fs-type` where applicable.
