pmbootstrap 3.0.0 uses GPT partition table by default, which breaks booting
on all the devices using the lk2nd bootloader. The current version of lk2nd
supports GPT only for the eMMC, while subpartitions and SD cards must be
partitioned with MBR. GPT support was present in the legacy branch of
lk2nd, but was dropped at some point because of poor code quality.
Fix the regression for now by reverting back to the old msdos (MBR)
partition table. We can revert this again later when lk2nd restores support
for GPT.

[ci:skip-build]: bug in CI prevents build testing armv7 and aarch64, so
Clayton did the test locally for those archs
This cmdline argument is now a no-op. Drop it everywhere and add a new
CI check to enforce this.
Adjust the deprecated "minimal" initramfs variant to use
pmos.debug-shell to enable logging instead. It doesn't /support/
dropping to a shell, so the variable takes on a different meaning. But
that's ok since it's at least more consistent.

[ci:skip-build]: kernel builds are very likely to go through now
Now as boot-deploy allows us to generate both boot.img and extlinux.conf
at the same time, enable generating the config for all msm8916 since it
will be used in the future lk2nd release. boot.img is still kept to keep
compatibility with current lk2nd releases and to allow system recovery
with fastboot when required.
