Keep (but soft-deprecate) the existing `root-fs-type`, and add a more general set of tables in `install.filesystem.root`, with `type` as a field underneath that. This somewhat resembles the [Image Builder blueprint](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/composing_a_customized_rhel_system_image/creating-system-images-with-composer-command-line-interface_composing-a-customized-rhel-system-image#composer-blueprint-format_creating-system-images-with-composer-command-line-interface) design. In particular, this aims to leave space for containers#287 where we'd add e.g. ``` [install.filesystem.root] extra = "5G" ``` for size specification. Another obvious extension would be `options` to pass through options to `mkfs.$fs`; not clear to me we totally want to go there, but we clearly need something a bit more general.
