This issue disclosed a bug of cgpt. The bug comes from the 'show' command always
reads the primary entry table when '-i partition' is specified. I added an
ANY_VALID constant for GetEntry to automatically select valid entry table.
Also fixed the bugs in cmd_boot.c and cmd_find.c. In cmd_add.c, stop user to
continue if any header/entry table is invalid.
Also fixed the bug that untrusted header size could cause segmentation failure.
Hungte, this is FYI. But welcome to do review.

LoadKernel already returns the partition number for the selected kernel.
This change makes it also return the GPT Entry's UniqueGuid, which will
eventually be passed to the kernel itself, so the kernel can determine which
of several possible devices it has booted from. It doesn't know for certain
because the BIOS and the kernel may enumerate the devices in a different
order.

This is a mostly NOOP change which modifies the source code
to compile cleanly in the MSVC command line build
environment.
A new makefile is introduced (msc/nmakefile) along with a
README.txt in the same directory explaining how to build
the code in the DOS window. As of this submission the build
is running in a 32 bit environment, the intention is to use
the same makefile for 64 bit builds in the future.
Enabling high compilation warnings level allowed to
identify a couple of bugs in the code which are being fixed.
Not all sources are being compiled in the MSVC environment,
only those in firmware/ and most of those in test/
subdirectories. The benchmark calculations require porting
of the timer facilities and are being postponed.
TEST
Built in DOS and linux environments. Ran unit tests in
linux environment.

It turned out that shared verified boot library fails to
work properly when compiled by msc in BIOS environment.
The culprit was identified as failing 64 bit logical
operations by preprocessor. It is probably possible to
come up with a certain compile flag set to fix the
operations, but it is not easy to modify and control the BIOS
compilation environment.
The alternative solution is to limit the size of the field
in question to 16 bits (especially since this is the only
part of the attributes field which is supposed to be
altered by firmware.
A union is being introduced in firmware/lib/cgptlib/include/gpt.h:GptEntry to allow
accessing the field both as a 64 bit entity and a top
16 bit field. All places where this field is used are
being modified appropriately.
tests/Makefile is being fixed to allow controlling test run
from the top level directory.
Tested by building everything and running tests.
All tests pass.
