"parted" incorrectly reports "loop" rather than "msdos" for the partition table type, when the (fake) partition table comes from the "--mbr" option of "mkfs.fat" (in dosfstools-4.2+), and the FAT variant in question is FAT16 or FAT32. (See RHBZ#2026224.) Work this around by - parsing the partition table ourselves, and - overriding "loop" with "msdos" when appropriate. Note that when the FAT variant is FAT12, "parted" fails to parse the fake MBR partition table completely (see RHBZ#2026220), which we cannot work around. However, FAT12 should be a rare corner case in libguestfs usage -- "mkfs.fat" auto-chooses FAT12 only below 9MB disk size, and even "-F 12" can only be forced up to and including 255MB disk size. Add the helper function "has_bogus_mbr" to the Utils module; we'll use it elsewhere too.
