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.
