This commit is a small refactor of the bootloader interface to define a InstallCtx struct to include the parameters required for the bootloader installation. This is mostly to improve code readability and to make it simpler to understand the purpose of each parameter. Signed-off-by: David Cassany <dcassany@suse.com>

If the new flag is passed the ignition configuration is added as base configuration as part of an initrd extension. This allows adding user configuration that gets merged at runtime. Configuration which could be provided by the platform (e.g. public cloud). Signed-off-by: David Cassany <dcassany@suse.com>

Use 'ignition' label only if there is the user ignition configuration included. Otherwise it uses the 'CATALYST' label. This allows to attacth an additional 'ignition' device at boot time to provide user Ignition configuration. Signed-off-by: David Cassany <dcassany@suse.com>

This PR adds the
--base-configflag inelemental3 customize. If the flag is present Elemental will generate the Ignition configuration in an initrd CPIO file which can be used as an initrd extension. With this option the ignition configuration will be seen as base configuration from Ignition's PoV and allow to merge on top additional user configuration. Moreover, the configuration partition, if any at all, will be labeled withCATALYSTinstead ofignitionif no<mnt>/ignition/config.ignfile is present, which is the case if--base-configis in use.This is handy in scenarios where the user configuration is provided by the platform instead of being embedded within the image itself. Consider cases such as deploying in cloud providers.
