WIP add systemConfiguration "install" command

which copies the init stuff (whatever it is) from store to /persist
instead of making liminix-rebuild have to know what the files are.

This is principally to ease making a system configuration in /mnt or
similar when operating in a rescue/recovery scenario, and we
don't want to liminix-rebuild because it will reboot
