[Bug 229977] geom/gpart does not care about GPT size, silently creates partitions that won't be persisted after reboot

I don't think that's Scaleway specific.

The GPT in question comes from this memstick image:

https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-20180719-r336479-mini-memstick.img.xz

The memstick is not *intended* to be extended with other partitions, so I guess
that's understandable!

On the other hand, it's not like the amount of space a larger GPT takes is of
any significance, the installer partition is over 500 megs :D

The actual problem is indeed that gpart is not doing the right thing when
running out of available partition table entries.
