  1. prepare-root: Switch to a tmpfs for transient root

    We're debating this over in CentOS/centos-bootc-dev#27
    and I have come to the conclusion that having changes to `/`
    persist across reboot by default was a bad idea.
    
    - It conflicts with any kind of secure boot scenario
    - Having things only go away on upgrades is in some ways even *more* surprising
    - The term `transient` implies this
    
    There may be a use case in the future for having something like `root.transient = persistent`,
    but this is just a better default.
