Motivation: Currently, when setting the default boot pattern, boot assessment status is not taken into account. This means that with boot assessment enabled, when an explicit boot entry is configured as the default entry using an EFI var, as is common for instance in A/B boot schemes, the configured entry will be booted indefinitly, regardless of the entry's boot assessment status. In order to allow for this use case in combination with boot assessment, we introduce a new `preferred` keyword, both in the config file and in the bootctl CLI, that acts very similar to the existing `default` keyword but takes boot assessment into account and never selects any entries that have been marked as bad. If the preferred pattern does not resolve to any bootable entry, and a default pattern is also specified, then the default pattern will be considered next, and we may then still select a known-bad entry to be booted.
