Add install_bls.py which generates BLS Type 1 boot entries in
/boot/loader/entries/ and a loader.conf file. Each installed kernel
gets a default entry and optionally a rescue entry, following the
naming convention l{seq}-{version}.conf. Entries include machine-id
(from /etc/machine-id) and architecture fields.
Add 'bls' as a recognised bootloader in the config validator.
Add unit tests covering loader.conf generation, individual entry
building (default, rescue, separate /boot partition, machine-id,
architecture), entry list construction, and the full install flow.

The Boot Loader Specification (BLS) Type 1 defines a standard layout for boot entries in /boot/loader/entries/ that firmware (such as U-Boot) can discover without a bootloader-specific configuration generator. Extract the common boot-parameter logic (firmware boot directory, root device specification) from setup_extlinux() into a shared _get_boot_params() helper. Add setup_bls() which uses the helper then calls install_bls() to write the entry files. Wire it into setup_boot() with event reporting, matching the pattern used by extlinux.
