Description

For Fedora bootc and derivatives the default is that we install+update both BIOS + EFI.

Let's add a UX that allows dropping out components from the update payload...and in theory perhaps also uninstall the relevant packages if they exist.

rpm -e grub2-pc grub2-pc-modules
bootupctl backend regenerate-update-metadata

or so?

Related to this, for "from scratch" builds we should handle the case where BIOS doesn't exist.
