part: efi: Add a Kconfig option for the number of partition entries

On some SoCs, the SPL needs to be located right in the middle of the GPT
partition entries.

One way to work around that is to create partition entries for a smaller
number of partitions to accomodate with where the SPL will be. Create a
Kconfig option to allow to do that.

Specify the number of partition entries in the GPT. This is
meant to allow less than the standard specifies for devices
that might need to place their first-stage bootloader in the
middle of a regular GPT.
If unsure, leave at 128 entries, which is the standard
number.
