While it is possible to disable sysext/confext merging in the main system
with 'systemctl disable', sysext/confext are always merged in the initrd,
both by systemd-{sys,conf}ext-initrd.service and by
systemd-{sys,conf}ext-sysroot.service and especially the latter can be
unexpected. Provide kernel cmdline options systemd.{sys,conf}ext=0 and
rd.systemd.{sys,conf}ext=0 covering all options.
The new services are used to activate system and configuration extensions
for the main system from the initrd, this allows to overcome the limitation
that sysext/confext cannot be used to update the resources which are required
in the earliest boot of the system (before systemd-sysext/systemd-confext
start).
