fdisk: add support for sfdisk scripts

New commands 'I' and 'O' allows to read and write sfdisk compatible
scripts by fdisk. It means that you can save your work (partition
table) and later use it (in fdisk, sfdisk or cfdisk) to create a new
partition table.

+.SH SCRIPT FILES
+.B fdisk
+allows to read (by 'I' command) sfdisk compatible script files. The script is
+applied to in-memory partition table, and then it is possible to modify the
+partition table before you write it to the device.
+.PP
+And vice-versa it is possible to write the current in-memory disk layout
+to the script file by command 'O'.
+.PP
+The script files are compatible between cfdisk, sfdisk, fdisk and another
+libfdisk applications. For more details see
+.BR sfdisk (8).
