zpool import: reconstruct corrupted primary GPT from backup
On Windows 2025, zpool import can fail if the primary EFI/GPT partition table has been corrupted by OS. In such cases, the
import path is updated to detect the corruption and fall back to the backup GPT.
The code now:
Reads GPT information from the backup when primary shows corruption.
Reconstructs the primary GPT with the correct partition style.
Rewrites the primary GPT on disk and proceeds with import.
This allows zpools with corrupted primary GPT labels to be imported successfully without data loss.
