This implements #5579 [0] as proposed by Thomas [1].

Adds a new (optional) section to the auto-installer answer file called
`first-boot`, which can be used to the configure a script/executable
file to run on the first boot after the installation.

To used the baked-in (via the `proxmox-auto-install-assistant prepare-iso
--on-first-boot`) file from the ISO:

  [first-boot]
  source = "from-iso"

Or fetching it from a URL:

  [first-boot]
  source = "from-url"
  url = "http://example.com/first-boot"
  cert_fingerprint = ".." # if needed

Optionally, a ordering can be specified, when to run the script:

  [first-boot]
  source = "from-url"
  ordering = "fully-up" # default value
  # one of "before-network", "network-online" or "fully-up"

The structure the section is mostly taken from the `network` section to
provide consistency.

Inner workings
==============

This creates a new package `proxmox-first-boot`, which only has a
systemd .service file. The service is conditioned to start based on the 
existence of a flag file in /var/lib/proxmox-first-boot, which will
be created by the installer if such a script is supplied by the user.

The script will also be passed the ordering of the service as the first
argument, as set in the answer file.

The above package will only be installed to the target system when a
first-boot script is set, to unnecessarily polluting the system.

Testing
=======

Tested this with the latest (8.2-2) PVE ISO, both baking it into the ISO
and fetching it from an URL. Did not test with PBS explicitly (yet), but
I see no reason why it shouldn't work, as it is completely
product-agnostic.
