      Observed:
      After running a few updates, /boot/EFI/Linux fills up and prevents `bootc update` from finishing, which leaves the system in a bad state.

      /sysroot/composefs/images also doesn't appear to be pruned after updates.

      Expected:
      After an update, any un-reachable kernels and composefs images would be removed, freeing disk space. Un-reachable probably means that it's not listed in a boot loader entry somewhere, but there may be more nuance.

      Thanks for making the composefs backend, we're having tons of fun with Debian
