install/to-disk: Drop separate /boot by default #529

In order to simplify what we're doing here, let's drop the separate /boot aka XBOOTLDR partition by default for the to-disk --block-setup=direct path (the default).

We retain it when using --block-setup=tpm2-luks as it's required there.

Notably this kills off a hardcoded "ext4 for /boot" which is suboptimal for many reasons.

Longer term again I'd like to emphasize install to-filesystem with external installers, plus integrating external installation scripts as part of bootc install to-disk.

as part of `bootc install to-disk`.
