[PATCH v2 2/2] image: make populate-systemd-preset opt-in

["'Badrikesh Prusty' via isar-users" <isar-users@googlegroups.com>]

Disable running populate-systemd-preset at build time by default.
Although systemd runs enable-only presets at first boot, running this
step during image creation changes the enabled state of units before
systemd’s first-boot logic runs, ignores disable rules, and can cause
some services to fail during runtime.

Downstream users can opt in when preset population is required.

Opt-in:
  ROOTFS_FEATURES:append = " populate-systemd-preset"
