cgpt: Fully write out primary GPT before starting to write secondary
The point of having two GPTs is to always have a known good one if one
of them gets corrupted. One of the most obvious ways that could happen
is if the write stopped half-way through (e.g. due to a crash or random
power loss).
Unfortunately, the way we currently save modified GPTs can leave both
copies invalid if we stop writing at just the wrong time. Since a GPT
header contains a checksum over the GPT entries, we need to write both
the header and entries for one GPT (and make sure they're synced to
disk) before we start writing the other.
