Beschreibung

Let's add first class support for [systemd-sysext](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-sysext.html) - but instead of being DDI oriented we fetch and upgrade them from a registry.

Something like:

```
$ bootc sysext -M add quay.io/examplecorp/exampleos-debugtools:latest
```

`-M` here means to automatically run `systemd-sysext merge` after the operation. We'd store the sysexts in `/var/lib/extensions` by default. Other operations:

```
$ bootc sysext rm
$ bootc sysext rm --all
```

These would only remove sysexts that we "own" or write.

Also, `bootc upgrade` by default should error out if a target sysext is incompatible.

Original issue:

I think it would make sense to support functionality similarly to https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-sysext.html - we could even use that as a backend, though it needs some design around interactions eventually lowering "live apply" type flows.

A strawman could look like:

```
$ bootc overlay add quay.io/examplecorp/seattle-manufacturing:wifi
```

That would add a new container image that would be *dynamically* unioned with the host's rootfs - on updates, we reapply both - and we'd also verify compatibility and fail if e.g. they appeared somehow incompatible. (A lot of potential things to do in "verify compatibility...")
