fd2d79e152 proxmox-boot: fix #3632 copy kernel+initrd unconditionally
do not use the -u (update) flag when copying kernel images and inird
from /boot to the ESPs:
* the ESPs are formatted with vfat, which has a 2 second precision for
  mtime (`linux/fs/fat/misc.c` - `fat_truncate_time`)
* cp -u compares the mtimes of source (kernel image in /boot not on
  vfat) and destination - leading to the copy always being carried
  out, if the source files remain the same (and do not happen to have
  a mtime exactly happening on a even second)

as laid out in the bug-report - the case where this leads to an
unbootable system is when a kernel-version is shipped twice (built
with different tool-chains) - e.g. currently the 5.11 kernels in PVE 6
and PVE 7.

tested the behavior of `cp -u` by running opensnopp-bpfcc and copying
a file twice onto ext4 (opened only once) and on vfat (opened twice).

additionally reproduced the issue (by dist-upgrading a PVE 6 VM to 7
with the pve-no-subscription repo) and verified this patch fixes it.

de2b329a1a boot-tool: prefer PVE for systemd-boot loader title
like for Grub where this is handled via snippets with PVE > PMG > PBS.

1fa0cd6c64 proxmox-boot-tool: handle legacy boot zfs installs
This patch adds support for booting non-uefi/legacy/bios-boot ZFS
installs, by using proxmox-boot-tool to copy the kernels to the ESP
and then generate a fitting grub config for booting from the vfat ESP:

* grub is installed onto the ESP and the MBR points to the ESP
* after copying/deleting the kernels proxmox-boot-tool bindmounts the
  ESP on /boot (inside the new mount namespace)
* grub-update then manages to generate a fitting config.

Some paths/sanity-checks needed adaptation (to differentiate between
EFI boot and not (based on the existence of /sys/firmware/efi)

The arguments for grub-install are taken from the pve-installer.

The approach is inspired by @avw in our community-forum [0].

17dd9d54a1 proxmox-boot-tool: add status command
currently simply checking if $ESP_LIST exists, and indicating via
the exit status if proxmox-boot-tool is used for booting the system.

581696503d proxmox-boot-tool: rename from pve-efiboot-tool
We will be using the mechanics also for ZFS systems booting with BIOS
legacy boot, and the tool is used also in PMG and PBS.

A symlink is kept in place for compatibility reasons

The hook scripts are marked as conffiles (as all files in /etc) and
are handled by dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) via dh_installdeb(1)
