[Buildroot] [git commit] configs/orangepi_r1_defconfig: change to GPT partitions for root=PARTLABEL support

From: Yann E. MORIN <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=38d04e6b13410f79ab18044737bdb078c637136a
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

GPT provides partition labels, which can be used to tell the kernel to find
the rootfs based on it (root=PARTLABEL=rootfs) as a nicer/more extensible
solution than the MBR disk signature / PARTUUID.

When using GPT, the name of the partition in genimage.cfg is used as the
label for that partition.

The default GPT partition table location unfortunately conflicts with the
SPL location, so move the 16KB GPT table after it.
