I don't think we should document partition types for all foreign
systems. gpart(8) exists only in FreeBSD and it's purpose manage
partitions in FreeBSD. We already have a lot of NetBSD's and Apple's
aliases that aren't documented, but nobody complained about that.

In this case it is mostly cosmetic change. It allows to see aliases in
the `gpart show` output. Having a lot of partition types documented can
confuse users. IMHO. :)
