DPS [1] assigns native root partition type UUIDs per architecture. Add the ARCH_HAS_DPS_ROOT_PARTITION_TYPE_UUID config option so that architectures can opt in. Architectures that support this feature should define DPS_ROOT_PARTITION_TYPE_UUID in asm/dps_root.h as a string representation of the architecture's DPS root partition type UUID. Add the hidden DPS_ROOT_AUTO_DISCOVERY symbol for the combination of BLOCK, EFI and ARCH_HAS_DPS_ROOT_PARTITION_TYPE_UUID, and use it to expose DPS_ROOT_PARTITION_TYPE_UUID from the common linux/root_dev.h header only when all prerequisites are met.
