Code Review
This pull request refactors the command-line argument and configuration file handling in system-reinstall-bootc to correctly process --help. The changes are a good step forward, but the current implementation has a flaw where --help is not handled if the BOOTC_REINSTALL_CONFIG environment variable is set. My review provides suggestions to fix this by always parsing CLI arguments first, which ensures --help works correctly in all scenarios. I've also included recommendations to improve error reporting and to expand the new test case to cover this edge case.
I wanted to add a CLI option here to avoid the reboot, and ran into the fact that our option parsing was suboptimal to start with. We never documented `BOOTC_REINSTALL_CONFIG` at all...I'm kind of tempted to deprecate it. Signed-off-by: Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org>
