1. Split RHCOS into layers …

   This enhancement describes improvements to the way RHEL CoreOS (RHCOS)
   is built so that it will better align with image mode for RHEL, all
   while also providing benefits on the OpenShift side. Currently, RHCOS
   is built as a single layer that includes both RHEL and OCP content. This
   enhancement proposes splitting it into three layers. Going from bottom
   to top:
   1. the (RHEL-versioned) bootc layer (i.e. the base rhel-bootc image
      shared with image mode for RHEL)
   2. the (RHEL-versioned) CoreOS layer (i.e. coreos-installer, ignition,
      afterburn, scripts, etc...)
   3. the (OCP-versioned) node layer (i.e. kubelet, cri-o, etc...)
   
   The terms "bootc layer", "CoreOS layer", and "node layer" will be used
   throughout this enhancement to refer to these.
   
   The details of this enhancement focus on doing the first split: creating
   the node layer as distinct from the CoreOS layer (which will not yet be
   rebased on top of a bootc layer). The two changes involved which most
   affect OCP are:
   1. bootimages will no longer contain OCP components (e.g. kubelet,
      cri-o, etc...)
   2. the `rhel-coreos` payload image will be built in Prow/Konflux (as
      any other)
