State-Changed-Why: 
There isn't any particular reason to use the MBR+bsdlabel method unless you
plan to dual-boot another OS (Windows, basically) that doesn't speak GPT. In
such cases, MBR+bsdlabel is already the default. GPT works on all x86 systems
back to a 386 and using MBR+bsdlabel only introduces limitations (e.g. maximum
disk size, maximum number of partitions) with no benefits relative to GPT.

Since in the one and only case where MBR partitioning is useful (dual-booting
with Windows), it is already the default (as it also is if the disk is already
MBR-formatted), and since it is otherwise easy to set up using the GUI if you
really want it, I'm closing this PR.
