Code Review
This pull request adds support for configuring sysroot.bls-append-except-default for ostree during installation. The changes are well-structured, introducing the necessary configuration options and the logic to apply them. The new functionality is also covered by a test case. I've provided a couple of suggestions to improve code readability and remove duplication.

It looks like the packit failures are not related to this patch |

Please update the install config docs for this.
We could probably also add this option to one of our existing install tests too (we have a bunch).
Otherwise I just have nits.

Add support for the new [install.ostree] configuration section with the bls-append-except-default option, which was introduced in bootc PR osbuild#1909 [1] This option allows setting the ostree sysroot.bls-append-except-default config key during installation, which appends kernel arguments to Boot Loader Spec entries except for the default entry. A common use case is setting grub_users="" to bypass GRUB password prompts for non-default deployments. Example usage in manifest: { "type": "org.osbuild.bootc.install.config", "options": { "filename": "10-custom.toml", "config": { "install": { "ostree": { "bls-append-except-default": "grub_users=\"\"" } } } } } [1] bootc-dev/bootc#1909 Signed-off-by: Joel Capitao <jcapitao@redhat.com>

Instead of deploying the container to the tree then copy all the contents to the disk image, use bootc to directly manage the installation to the target filesystems. We can keep the manifest duplicated until we are confident to roll this to all streams. [1] bootc-dev/bootc#1410 Requires: bootc-dev/bootc#1460 bootc-dev/bootc#1451 osbuild/osbuild#2149 osbuild/osbuild#2152 bootc-dev/bootc#1978 bootc-dev/bootc#1909 All of which have landed in osbuild-159 and bootc 1.6

Add a bootc install config file[1] to set ostree repo options so we inject the `grub_users` config on non-default entries. [1] https://bootc-dev.github.io/bootc/man/bootc-install-config.5.html#ostree See bootc-dev/bootc#1909
