bootctl: add @current/@oneshot/@default targets to set-default/set-oneshot

Using `bootctl set-default @current` will set the default loader entry
to the currently booted entry as read from the `LoaderEntrySelected` EFI
variable.

Also `bootctl set-oneshot @current` will set the oneshot loader entry to
the current booted entry.

Correspondingly `@default` and `@oneshot` can be used to read from the
LoaderEntryDefault and LoaderEntryOneshot EFI variables.

<listitem><para>Sets the default boot loader entry. Takes a single boot loader entry ID string as
argument. The <option>set-oneshot</option> command will set the default entry only for the next boot,

<listitem><para>Optionally, the boot loader entry ID may be specified as one of: <option>@default</option>,
<option>@oneshot</option> or <option>@current</option>, which correspond to the current default boot loader
entry for all future boots, the current default boot loader entry for the next boot, and the currently booted
boot loader entry. These special IDs are resolved to the current values of the EFI variables
<varname>LoaderEntryDefault</varname>, <varname>LoaderEntryOneShot</varname> and <varname>LoaderEntrySelected</varname>,
see <ulink url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION">Boot Loader Specification</ulink> for details.
These special IDs are primarily useful as a quick way to persistently make the currently booted boot loader
entry the default choice, or to upgrade the default boot loader entry for the next boot to the default boot
loader entry for all future boots, but may be used for other operations too.
