mkarchiso: add uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp and uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito boot modes

nl6720 requested to merge nl6720/archiso:systemd-boot-IA32 into master

The systemd 254.2-1 package ships with IA32 systemd-boot, so it is possible to use for booting on IA32 UEFI.

Perhaps they will be useful in the future. At least for now, the baseline and releng profiles are not changed to use them. When the issues and headaches caused with GRUB reach a critical point, then we will switch.

Due to my shortsightedness, we're stuck with GRUB until "file system transposition" support (!306 (merged)) is reimplemented in initramfs. There's also the issue with systemd-boot not supporting booting files from arbitrary partitions (e.g. like rEFInd with volume). Currently switching to systemd-boot would bloat (#63 (closed)) the ESP to ~95 MiB.
