Julia Kreger ed4abbd519 Fix disk label to account for UEFI
Previously disk labels would not be populated if not explicitly
set by an API user, which lead to a dangerous possible case,
which sometimes could work, but was ultimately wrong to
setup a UEFI booting machine with a BIOS MBR partition table.

Not all systems support this, but UEFI systems are supposed to
support GPT partition tables.

We now fallback if no explicit override is set and assume GPT
if the machine is set to UEFI mode.

Fixes the logic which determines the partition table type to utilize with
partition images account for the boot mode of the machine. If no value is
set by the API user, Ironic now correctly defaults to GPT if the node
has been set in UEFI mode.
