Daan De Meyer d052cc8893 mkosi: Switch to use mkosi presets with prebuilt initrds
Instead of building the initrds for the mkosi images with dracut,
let's switch to using mkosi presets to build the initrd with mkosi
as well.

This commit splits up our single image build into three separate
mkosi presets:

1. The "base" preset. This image contains systemd and all its runtime
dependencies. The sole purpose of this image is to serve as a base image
for the initrd and the final image. It's also responsible for building
systemd from source with the build script. The results are installed into
the base image. Note that we install the systemd and udev packages into this
image as well to prevent package managers from overriding the systemd we built
from source with the distro packaged systemd if it's pulled in as a dependency
by another package from the initrd or final profiles.
2. The "initrd" preset. This image provides the initrd. It's trivial and does
nothing more than packaging the base image up as a zstd compressed initramfs and
adds /init and /etc/initrd-release symlinks to the image.
3. The "final" preset. This image builds on top of the base image and adds
a kernel and extra packages that are useful for testing and debugging.

We also split out the optional kernel build into a separate set of config files
that are only included if a kernel to build is actually provided.

Note that this commit doesn't really change anything about how mkosi is used.
The commands remain the same, except that mkosi will now build all the presets
in order. "mkosi summary" will show the summary of all the presets. "mkosi qemu,
boot, shell" will always boot the final preset. With "-f", all presets will be
built and the final one is booted. "-i" makes a cache of each preset.

The only thing to keep in mind is that specifying config via the mkosi CLI will
apply to each of the presets. e.g. any extra packages added with "-p" will be
installed in both the initrd and the final image. To apply local configuration
to a single preset, create a file 00-local.conf in
mkosi.presets/<profile>/mkosi.conf.d and put all the preset specific configuration
in there.

Daan De Meyer f997f91d7d mkosi: Update to latest
Let's use the new support for matching against any distribution in
a list of distributions to start sharing most things between the
ubuntu/debian configs and centos/fedora configs.

Let's reduce image size by using a smaller kernel package.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 4518126807 mkosi: default to Fedora 38
It'll be out this week. We can't update the man pages before it is realeased,
but we can use it for mkosi builds and do some very late testing.

Also, use filepath specification for /bin/pkg-config. We need it for meson, and
meson calls it directly by this path. pkgconfig is a virtual Provides on
pkgconf-pkg-config, and the indirection here just obfuscates things with no
benefit.

Add it explicitly for centos too. (I think it is pulled in by packages which
contain pkg-config modules anyway, but it's better to be explicit).

Daan De Meyer fde55f3a32 mkosi: Update to latest
The Bootable= option was removed and mkosi installs less packages
by default now, so let's adapt our configs to those changes.

Daan De Meyer af6c5c7025 mkosi: Update to latest
This also migrates the configuration to the new format that was
just merged in mkosi. Specifically, we make use of the new [Match]
sections to only include specific config snippets per distro.
