1. WIP: takeover installs …

   This adds `bootc install --takeover` which moves the running
   container into RAM and invokes `systemctl switch-root` to it, then
   proceeds with an installation to the previously-used block device.
   
   A key use case here is to "takeover" a running cloud instance, e.g.
   provision the system via cloud-init or so which invokes
   `podman run --privileged ... bootc install --takeover`.
   
   At the current time, this is only scoped to "builtin" installation
   types.  We could support `install-to-filesystem` type flows too
   by allowing externally-configured block storage setups to be
   run as part of the current container (or in the fully general
   case, a distinct container, though that adds a lot of complexity).
