    block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a string · 1ad7e899

    This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true
    UUIDs.  This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually
    constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings.
    
    Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
    /PARTNROFF option was found to be present.  However, this modifies the
    input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
    see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results.  In order to
    avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.
