Creates a hybrid partition table of both GPT and DOS, only adding the
first active partition to the DOS table. This addresses use cases where
the (firmware-)bootable partition is not the EFI partition while EFI
should be used later on. The bootimg-biosplusefi does not suite here.

Usage in a wks file:

part /bootable-partition --active ...
part / ...
bootloader --source hybrid-boot ...

+# DESCRIPTION
+# This creates a hybrid DOS partition table for a GPT disk, adding the
+# partition marked as bootable to that table. This is useful if the boot
+# partition is different from the EFI partition so that bootimg-biosplusefi
+# cannot be used. Implemented as bootloader source plugin.
