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.
