bootctl: tweak "bootctl update" to be a NOP when boot loader is already current and --graceful is given
Previously, the "bootctl update" logic would refrain from downrgading a
boot loader, but if the boot loader that is installed already matched
the version we could install we'd install it anyway, under the
assumption this was effectively without effect. This behaviour was handy
while developing boot loaders, since installing a modified boot loader
didn't require a version bump.
However, outside of the systems of boot loader developers I don't think
this behaviour makes much sense: we should always emphasize doing
minimal changes to the ESP, hence when an update is supposedly not
necessary, then don't do it. Only update if it really makes sense, to
minimize writes to the ESP. Updating the boot loader is a good thing
after all, but doing so redundantly is not.
Also, downgrade the message about this to LOG_NOTICE, given this
shouldn't be a reason to log.
Finally, exit cleanly in this cases (or if another boot loader is
detected)

bootctl: update to new kernel-install semantics
This makes a bunch of closely related changes:
1. The "entry-token" concept already introduced in kernel-install is now
made use of. i.e. specifically there's a new option --entry-token=
that can be used to explicitly select by which ID to identify boot
loader entries: the machine ID, or some OS ID (ID= or IMAGE_ID= from
/etc/os-release, or even some completely different string. The
selected string is then persisted to /etc/kernel/entry-token, so that
kernel-install can find it there.
2. The --make-machine-id-directory= switch is renamed to
--make-entry-directory= since after all it's not necessarily the
machine ID the dir is named after, but can be any other string as
selected by the entry token.
3. This drops all code to make automatic changes to /etc/machine-info.
Specifically, the KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID= field is now more
generically implemented in /etc/kernel/entry-token described above,
hence no need to place it at two locations. And the
KERNEL_INSTALL_LAYOUT= field is not configurable by user switch or
similar anyway in bootctl, but only read from
/etc/kernel/install.conf, and hence copying it from one configuration
file to another appears unnecessary, the second copy is fully
redundant. Note that this just drops writing these fields, they'll
still be honoured when already set.

In many places we spelled out the phrase behind "initrd" in full, but this
isn't terribly useful. In fact, no "RAM disk" is used, so emphasizing this
is just confusing to the reader. Let's just say "initrd" everywhere, people
understand what this refers to, and that it's in fact an initramfs image.
Also, s/i.e./e.g./ where appropriate.
Also, don't say "in RAM", when in fact it's virtual memory, whose pages
may or may not be loaded in page frames in RAM, and we have no control over
this.

using the machine ID has the benefit that multiple parallel installations of the same OS can coexist
on the same medium, and they can update their boot loader entries independently. When using another
identifier (such as the OS ID or the OS image ID), parallel installations of the same OS would try to
use the same entry name. To support parallel installations, the installer must use a different entry

Seems OK to me. The full stop is there and has been for at least a few years. And we use <option> for the markup, which is appropriate here.

"one of" would sound strange. "One this and one that" is OK.

"Is honoured by the initrd" is OK, because we often speak about the initrd as a single unit. But in the same paragraph we also used "in the initrd", which makes the other use look sloppy. I changed it to "in the initrd" everywhere in that file.

This is autogenerated from files… We use slightly different markup in different files, and it's just too hard to make it consistent. We gave up on this.

The man page doesn't seem to be in any of the canonical places on the web.
I added a link to online docs.
