feat(live): add a kiwi variant which includes only the minimal software to run Agama#2256
Conversation
* It includes only the software that is required to use Agama remotely.
This reverts commit 28d3de1. Rather remove the kernel drivers, the related firmware is removed automatically by a script.

My changes reduced the mini PXE image from 419MB to 343MB (x86_64), mostly by dropping GPU, Wifi and Bluetooth drivers. |

No, because the files are still there. We drop the spice-vdagentd because it introduced some dependencies, even on gtk.

Problem
The PXE image is too big and it is not possible to use it on a system with 2GiB of RAM. It must include a minimal desktop and a browser, which takes quite some space.
However, in many situations the system can be installed remotely or using the CLI. For those scenario, we should offer an smaller PXE image that does not include the desktop stack.
Solution
Split the main list of packages in two:
Additionally, the MINI image does not contain:
