live-image: mask systemd-firstboot at image-build time
CI / Lint + build + test (push) Successful in 1m24s
Release / release (push) Successful in 5m53s

Belt-and-braces for the kernel-cmdline systemd.firstboot=off fix.
mkosi ships /etc/machine-id empty, which triggers firstboot's
interactive locale/timezone/root-password prompt on every PXE boot;
with the agent running unattended there's nobody to answer and
sysinit.target blocks indefinitely.

Mask via a /dev/null symlink in /etc/systemd/system so the service
is unstartable regardless of cmdline — rules out the failure mode
where an older orchestrator binary serves an iPXE script without
the off-switch arg.
