This implements the following command:

    part type mmc 0:1
      -> print partittion type UUID
    part type mmc 0:1 uuid
      -> set environment variable to partition type UUID

"part type" can be useful when writing a bootcmd which searches for a
specific partition type to enable automatic discovery of partitions and
their intended usage or mount point.

Seems reasonable.  Please update some of the existing tests (I don't
know if test/py/tests/test_gpt.py or test/py/tests/test_part.py or
perhaps both would be easier) for v2.

Does such a command exist? Do you plan to implement such a command?

For each command we want a man-page in doc/usage/cmd. I miss a
corresponding change in /doc.
