[parted-devel] Support setting more flags (those from the Discoverable Partitions Specification)

Hi,

Due to several reasons the Discoverable Partitions Specification (DSP)
is getting more popular.
The DSP also defines several partition flags
(https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification/#partition-attribute-flags)
that can be set and influence the handling of partitions. To my
knowledge there is currently no tool apart from systemd-repart which
can write these and none that can really inspect these. It would be
great if parted will add support for them such that one can easily
check which flags are set and toggle those flags.

Cheers,
Nils
