README: Cleanup description of supported partitions.

I'm still trying to figure things out, and so am trying to
clarify the docs as I go. FYI, I'm fuzzy about:
Whether this should read "One or more" or "Zero or more".
Whether the 2TB limit noted in disk/part_efi.c is really
still true.
Whether this list is comprehensive.
Whether this list is overly chatty/pedantic.
Whether these sorts of changes should be in the wiki,
the README, or both.
