configs/{baseline,releng}/: disable systemd-gpt-auto-generator

nl6720 requested to merge 164-systemd-gpt-auto-generator-fails-in-the-live-environment into master

When booting the ISO, you can observe a message that systemd-gpt-auto-generator has failed:

systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Reading EFI variable /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: open("/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f") failed: No such file or directory
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: EFI loader partition unknown, exiting.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: (The boot loader did not set EFI variable LoaderDevicePartUUID.)
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Failed to open device: No such device

Seeing as it started to appear relatively recently, it may be a systemd bug. Since we do not want any GPT partition automounting in the live environment anyway, systemd-gpt-auto-generator can simply be disabled.

Fixes #164 (closed).
