Boot Environments - a big 👍

It was trivial (in my simple case). There is already a default environment created at installation time. `bectl create foo` creates a bootable system, a new persistent branch in the timeline. `bectl activate foo` and a reboot puts me into that branch. Now I can experiment without fear of polluting the default branch, It's brilliant, and I wish I had figured it out before I accidentally sucked in a gigabyte of gnu tools...

I wish the installer made a point about boot environments (or maybe it did and I wasn't paying attention, I suppose...). Live and learn.
