For composefs backend we'd sometimes want to override the bootloader. Currently we have logic that check if an image has bootupd or not, and if it does we use grub as the bootloader, even if systemd-boot is actually installed We use this option to override the bootloader Signed-off-by: Pragyan Poudyal <pragyanpoudyal41999@gmail.com>

Code Review
The pull request successfully introduces a bootloader option for the composefs_backend within the InstallOptions struct. This option is correctly configured with clap attributes to require composefs_backend and is properly translated into command-line arguments for bootc. The changes are well-aligned with the stated goal of overriding the bootloader for composefs-native backends.

I am not sure we need to require this here, but it doesn't hurt.

Obviously fine as is but can also be args.extend(self.bootloader.map(|v| ["--bootloader", v).cloned()) probably
