NEWS: try to fix old entry regarding KERNEL_INSTALL_LAYOUT

Browse source 
The old text was simply wrong, we used to read $layout from
/etc/kernel/install.conf and the machine ID from
$KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID from /etc/machine-info. Correct that.

Apparently KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID was already known back in v235
times, hence don't mention it anymore.

it's kinda weird retro-fixing these NEWS entries, given we deprecate
them again, but I couldn't let this really incorrect stuff be.

or just the subsequent boot).
* bootctl and kernel-install will now read KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID
and KERNEL_INSTALL_LAYOUT from kernel/install.conf. The first
variable specifies the machine-id to use for installation. It would
previously be used if set in the environment, and now it'll also be
read automatically from the config file. The second variable is new.
When set, it specifies the layout to use for installation directories
on the boot partition, so that tools don't need to guess it based on
the already-existing directories. The only value that is defined
natively is "bls", corresponding to the layout specified in

values for this variable.
