WIP: takeover installs

This adds `bootc install --takeover` which moves the running
container into RAM and invokes `systemctl switch-root` to it, then
proceeds with an installation to the previously-used block device.

A key use case here is to "takeover" a running cloud instance, e.g.
provision the system via cloud-init or so which invokes
`podman run --privileged ... bootc install --takeover`.

At the current time, this is only scoped to "builtin" installation
types.  We could support `install-to-filesystem` type flows too
by allowing externally-configured block storage setups to be
run as part of the current container (or in the fully general
case, a distinct container, though that adds a lot of complexity).
