gpt-auto: propagate gpt partition ro/rw flag into root mount
This ensures that the read/write state of the root mount matches the read/write flag in the GPT partition table entry. This is only used as fallback in case no ro/rw flag is specified on the kernel cmdline, and there's no entry for the root partition in /etc/fstab. This is missing functionality of the GPT auto logic, as without this the root partition was always mounted read-only — when booting with zero configuration in /etc/fstab and /proc/cmdline —, as we defaulted to read-only behaviour for all mounts. Moreover we honoured the r/o flag in the partition table for all other partition types, except for the root partition.
