cfdisk trips on out of order logical partitions

cfdisk trips on out of order logical partitions

cfdisk's partition parsing logic is flawed in that it assumes they are
in order, so if you have out of order partitions it complains that
they overlap.

 I currently don't plan to fix anything in cfdisk and sfdisk. I'd like
 to rewrite the code to use libfdisk to share code between all the
 fdisks.

 Note that I'm working on new cfdisk version and out-of-order
 partition will be definitely supported.
