Graft AIX partitions enumeration into partitions/msdos.c

There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c.  When an AIX disk
has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer.
This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code
duplication, and ensures that AIX partitions enumeration is called before
plain msdos partitions enumeration.

<title>block/partition/msdos: detect AIX formatted disks even without 55aa</title>

AIX formatted disks do not always have the MSDOS 55aa signature.
This happens e.g. for unbootable AIX disks.

Up to now, such disks were not recognized as AIX disks, because of the
missing 55aa.  Fix that by inverting the two tests.  Let's first
check for the AIX magic strings, and only if that fails check for
the MSDOS magic word.

<title>block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitions</title>

The MSDOS/MBR partition table includes a 32-bit unique ID, often referred
to as the NT disk signature.  When combined with a partition number within
the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's
partition UUID.  Constructing and recording this value in struct
partition_meta_info allows MSDOS partitions to be referred to on the
kernel command-line using the following syntax:

root=PARTUUID=0002dd75-01
