Apple Silicon Macs keep their boot firmware in an iBootSystemContainer partition and the recovery system in a RecoveryOSContainer partition. Linux installations on these machines, such as Asahi, list both as devices that the user can mount, although damaging them can stop the machine from booting.

Ignore the two GPT partition types "Apple Silicon boot" (69646961-6700-11aa-aa11-00306543ecac) and "Apple Silicon recovery" (52637672-7900-11aa-aa11-00306543ecac), as is already done for the Apple boot partition.

Fixes #1559
