[OE-core] [PATCH] wic: squashfs does support partition uuid

[Emmanuel Roullit]

wic allows the user to create disk image and reference each created
partitions via its partition UUID.

squashfs does not support filesystem UUID but it does offer support for
partition UUID.

$ lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,UUID,PARTUUID
NAME   FSTYPE   UUID                                 PARTUUID
sda
|-sda1 vfat     6078-ACD0                            95aa4ffb-741d-4d99-adf6-0358bc890046
|-sda2 squashfs                                      7d46da2d-29cc-4d5a-9e39-d0381c4abb0c
|-sda3 squashfs                                      d4a3e24e-410a-4f2c-8ad5-8f8321de177b
|-sda4 ext4     d72ec529-78e4-4cd3-b39b-781b6b1cb47c f3edc990-f4f6-4536-9587-44dae4ceb99f
`-sda5 ext4     a0b265aa-e935-40b8-9c6b-e9e58ad3890f 6e72ebaa-29ed-41cd-844c-3f76976cf41d

Removing this constrain allows a user to create squashfs-based rootfs and boot
from it with such kernel argument 'root=PARTUUID=7d46da2d-29cc-4d5a-9e39-d0381c4abb0c'
