Previously, Linux used the same GUID for the data partitions as Windows
(Basic data partition: EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7).
This created problems when dual-booting Linux and Windows in UEFI-GPT
Setup, so a new GUID (Linux filesystem data:
0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4) was defined jointly by GPT fdisk
and GNU Parted developers.

Currently, an environment variable must be used to store the randomly
generated UUID for each partition. This is not necessary, so make storing
the UUID optional. Now passing uuid_disk and uuid are optional when random
UUIDs are enabled.

Check the Backup GPT table if the Primary GPT table is invalid.
