Description
Basically today the bootloader update payload is often part of the base image, but we need to support dynamically extending it with layered image content as well.
In the short term, what may suffice is to offer an explicit user-hookable phase that can copy things from the container to /boot as part of bootc install to-filesystem.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked bootupctl-shim reference, then trace the bootc install to-filesystem flow mentioned in the issue. Determine how layered image content could extend the bootloader update payload or participate in a user-hookable phase that copies content to /boot. Done means the selected approach supports dynamically added payload content during installation.
