Revert disko boot partition rename - it broke the live deploy
Renaming the Nix attribute from ESP to bootfs changed the GPT partition
label disko expects fileSystems."/boot" to reference, but the physical
partition on the already-installed disk still carries the original
disk-main-ESP label from initial install - renaming an attribute here
doesn't relabel it. On deploy this hung boot.mount/local-fs.target waiting
for a device that doesn't exist, which cascaded into blocking every
service queued behind sysinit.target (AdGuard, the new ACME cert, Actual)
and ultimately required a restore from an older snapshot to recover.
