Draft: live-image: Add pret-a-booter installation from live system

Valentin David requested to merge valentindavid/live-iso-transition-to-installed-system into master

This is a demo for installing the live system onto disk and not even needing to reboot.

We boot the live system with a root btrfs in ramdisk. Then if we decide we like the live system, we repart a disk with encryption, then we move the live root disk into it. It is quick, and the user does not even have to reboot.

To test it, run in the live system (if disk to install is /dev/vda):

run0 /usr/libexec/gnomeos/pret-a-booter-install /dev/vda

Depends on !3424 (merged)

You can start a vm with ./utils/run-secure-vm.sh --reset --live-cdrom or ./utils/run-secure-vm.sh --reset --live-disk.
