add gdisk by default

there's fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk, and parted available from mer-tools...

but, the mmcblk0 device is actually GPT table, and the parted doesn't actually work well with GPT tables...

a parted rebuild with working GPT support would be nice, but maybe gdisk is better suited for the task.

(i'll note that the git repos i found for parted on mer, doesn't actually contain commits... it seems some repositories aren't actually synced from old yet?)

on mer, i found a howto for adding new packages, so i'm gonna go and try this out for gdisk...

add have gdisk by defaultavailable in mer-tools repository
