I have pushed this.

I changed the API name to part_get_mbr_part_type since it's really
MBR-specific, and also we have an API called part_get_parttype[1] so
there was an opportunity for confusion.

Also I added an extra test and made a small adjustment to the API
description.

Here are the upstream commits:

Thanks,

Rich.

[1] returns the partition table type like "mbr".
