fdisk: to recognize partition type 0xEA (Rufus)

i used a partitioning+formatting tool product rufus 2.2. of
https://rufus.akeo.ie/ This software has an extra format option for older BIOS.
With this fix the main partition is created with some alignments and for the
remaining unallocated space a small extra and empty partition with
identification 0xEA is created.

On the List of partition identifiers for PCs at
http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html is is said that
there is a freedesktop proposal to use also type ea as boot partition

Unfortunately the software fdisk (util-linux-2.27) can not classify that
partition.  I send for the fdisk program my 2 patches so that fdisk recognize
this partition type.
