OS-dependent sysexts that ship kernel modules, usually also ship the
files in /usr/lib/modules/*-flatcar/modules.XXX When multiple such
sysexts get activated, depmod files from just one sysext win and other
kernel modules cannot be loaded using modprobe. We get around this by
removing the depmod files from every sysext with kernel modules.
Instead, we set up modprobe hook, which dynamically runs depmod in a
temporary directory on every sysext kernel module activation.

There are two challenges with the sysext: it needs config files in /etc
and it needs udev rules for mounting during boot to work. The etc files
are placed in the standard flatcar etc overlay path but the overlay is
mounted from the initrd. So instead, we create a tmpfiles.d rule that
symlinks the best important files over. For the udev issue, we create a
drop-in in /etc that ensures udev runs after systemd-sysext.
We also can't rely on systemd presets to work, so instead parse the
preset file and statically create the service dependencies. For the
primary zfs.target we rely on an Upholds entry. Users can still disabled
unwanted services if they want.
We also removed unnecessary files:
- development files
- initramfs related scripts
