Patch with source code of the change

Right now is possible to modify bootable partition type to non-bootable type
without getting warning from partedit.
Example: if you auto parition drive for arm64, you will get freebsd-ufs as
bootable partition; now you are able to change bootable partition type to
freebsd-zfs; there will be no warning and the system will install but will =
not
be bootable afterwards.

After this fix, partedit will issue the same warning it does when user atte=
mpts
to create bootable partition of not supported type, notyfing a user about
incoming problem and allowing to think the decision over before commiting t=
he
schema.

This has been tested on amd64 and arm64.
