boot: Skip checks of first partition offset for for gpt partition table

This is extension of the previous commit. The original problem that
we are trying to resolve is to be sure the embedding area (MBR gap)
has expected size. This is irrelevant in case of GPT partition table
is used on a device. The fdisk output format is in case of GPT
disk label different, which breaks the parsing, resulting in empty
list of partitions in related GRUBDevicePartitionLayout msg.

For now, let's skip produce of msgs for "GPT devices". As a seatbelt,
ignore processing of messages with empty partitions field, expecting
that such a device does not contain MBR. We want to prevent false
positive inhibitors (and FP blocking errors). We expect that total
number of machines with small embedding area is very minor in total
numbers, so even if we would miss something (which is not expected
now to our best knowledge) it's still good trade-off as the major
goal is to reduce number of machines that have problems with the
in-place upgrade.

The solution can be updated in future if there is a reason for it.
