99370de066 According to most other OSes and documentation sources, an MBR has 
one "extended" partition and the partitions inside that are "logical"
partitions.  Make fdisk(8) man page follow suit.

Patch from Julian Fagir in PR#45695.

6c02382b7e Add flag -F, options -t disktab and -T disktype to fdisk. Flag -F 
indicates that the target of the fdisk operation is a file, not a
disk. With -t and -T, the user tells fdisk the geometry for the
file If the default geometry that fdisk will "fake up" for a file
are not satisfactory, the user may tell the geometry to fdisk using
-t disktab -T disktype.

- editing of the extended partition list
- user friendly default start/size for new partitions
- partition start/size input in sectors, cylinders or MB
- bootsel menu names configured with paritition bounds
- partition update loop asks used which partition to change
  (instead of asking about each partition in turn).
- detection (and erroring) of overlapped partitions.
