Add argument --hidden to avoid MS Windows prompting to format
partition after flashing to a USB stick, SD card on another media.
Set Bit 0 (RequiredPartition) to mark that the partition is
required for the platform to function on GUID Partition Table
(GPT).
The new argument simplifies setting RequiredPartition on GPT
through a WKS file and the default imager plugin. Otherwise,
without this feature, to achieve the same result a new imager
plugin has to be implemented and set in WIC_CREATE_EXTRA_ARGS.
