Brandon Maier 529df0b580 docs/manual/writing-rules: align use of genimage partition types ...

Buildroot boards use a mixture of the GPT Partition Type "L" (generic
Linux filesystem) and "root-x86", "root-arm", etc (UAPI Root
Filesystem) for root filesystem partitions.

To have consistent guidance on building disk images with genimage,
update the docs to recommend using the UAPI Root Filesystem types. The
UAPI Root Filesystem types are part of the UAPI Discoverable Partitions
Specification (DPS) which helps set a wider standard for system boot.
