This patch makes cgpt aware of a special "IGNOREME" GPT header signature
string that may appear in either the primary or the secondary GPT and
cause cgpt (and other cgptlib clients) to completely ignore that GPT. It
will continue to function correctly for all other purposes (using the
data from the non-ignored GPT), but never write any data back to the
ignored GPT.

The length of the signature is 8 bytes. We've been checking 9
bytes instead, pretty much forever. All the tests have passed
because although the signature we're looking for is an 8-byte
string followed by a '\0', the next field in the header contains
the revision number 0x00010000, so the 9th byte is always zero.
We should follow the spec, though.
