  1. Use rename of directories instead of symbolic links in boot partition. 

    This uses `renameat2` to do atomic swap of the loader directory in the
boot partition. It fallsback to non-atomic rename. This stays atomic
on filesystems supporting links but also provide a non-atomic behavior
when filesystem does not provide any atomic alternative.

This is working with SystemD boot on EFI using boot loader
specifications.

There is still the issue of losing `/loader/loader.conf` with SystemD
boot.
