I'm not sure why this is needed in the first place.

Not sure if this is the correct way to generate a list of nulls to a specific length

This `boot` argument represents $BOOT as per [Boot Loader Specification](https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/boot_loader_specification/#the-boot-partition-placeholder). It is expected to be Extended Boot Loader partition (XBOOTLDR) if desired, otherwise, it is expected to be ESP.

Fixes #173
In some systems, especially those pre-installed with Windows, the EFI System Partition (ESP) might not be large enough to contain the kernels and initrds used to boot.
XBOOTLDRis a partition specified by Boot Loader Specification to accommodate storing additional boot entries.Currently, Lanzaboote only supports writing kernels, initrds, and EFI stubs to ESP but not
XBOOTLDR. This PR adds support for it bylzbt-systemdto denote$BOOTpartition, which is a placeholder forXBOOTLDRor ESP, ifXBOOTLDRdoesn't exists.XBOOTLDRmount point fromboot.loader.systemd-boot.xbootldrMountPointand pass it along tolzbt-systemdaccordingly.
