by setting the desired version in a dedicated file, which is used
by the systemd service as condition for removing it and refreshing
upon reboot.

The 2 commands follow the mechanics of p-b-t kernel add/remove in
writing the desired abi-version to a config-file in /etc/kernel and
actually modifying the boot-loader configuration upon p-b-t refresh.
A dedicated new file is used instead of writing the version (with some
kind of annotation) to the manual kernel list to keep parsing the file
simple (and hopefully also cause fewer problems with manually edited
files)
For systemd-boot we write the entry into the loader.conf on the ESP(s)
instead of relying on the `bootctl set-default` mechanics (bootctl(1))
which write the entry in an EFI-var. This was preferred, because of a
few reports of unwriteable EFI-vars on some systems (e.g. DELL servers
have a setting preventing writing EFI-vars from the OS). The rationale
in `Why not simply rely on the EFI boot menu logic?` from [0] also
makes a few points in that direction.
For grub the following choices were made:
* write the pinned version (or actually the menu-path leading to it)
to a snippet in /etc/default/grub.d instead of editing the grub.cfg
files on the partition. Mostly to divert as little as possible from
the grub-workflow I assume people are used to.
* the 'root-device-id' part of the menu-entries is parsed from
/boot/grub/grug.cfg since it was stable (the same on all ESPs and in
/boot/grub), saves us from copying the part of "find device behind
/, mangle it if zfs/btrfs, call grub_probe a few times" part of
grub-mkconfig - and seems a bit more robust
Tested with a BIOS and an UEFI VM with / on ZFS.

in order to be consistent with the renaming of pve-efiboot-tool to
proxmox-boot-tool.
Sending as separate patch, since it changes and removes a file in
'/etc', which could be considered part of the external 'api' of
proxmox-boot-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.
