nixos/systemd-repart: add assertion for partition label length

The maximum length for a GPT label supported by systemd is 36
characters. When a repart definition contains a label that is longer
than the supported maximum length, it is ignored by systemd-repart and
a log message is produced.

The new assertion makes this obvious to the user at evaluation time,
allowing them to either drop the property entirely or choose a supported
label within the length limit instead.
