  1. Drop Photon support

    Booting a systemd-nspawn container with a Photon image produced by
    mkosi without --netdev waits for 2 minutes until "wait for network
    to come online" times out. After logging in there's 3 failed services
    in systemctl status. This is without trying to use any of mkosi's
    more advanced features.
    
    Bootable images are not supported at all on Photon. Given this and
    the broken container support, it's clear that Photon support isn't
    really usable at the moment and probably hasn't been for quite a
    while (see systemd#664).
    
    Given that Photon has been broken for multiple releases and that
    aside form systemd#664, no one has bothered to report concrete issues or
    make an attempt to fix the issues aside from a mirror update, this
    gives us a pretty clear indication that no one is using or trying
    to use mkosi to build Photon images.
    
    Given that none of the existing maintainers are familiar with Photon
    (and are likely not interested in doing the effort needed to support
    it), let's drop the Photon support from mkosi.
