The required use of OEM payloads can be problematic when trying to downgrade, or for testing the fallback case. Add a flag to skip providing OEM payloads. This also allows us to backport the support for OEM payloads to LTS, by switching the default behavior of the flag to "no".

This pulls in flatcar/init#114 to support a flag to skip providing OEM payloads, with the goal of easing downgrades to non-sysext-OEM releases or, when backported to LTS with the default behavior switched, to opt-in to OEM payloads for airgapped updates that can't use the fallback download.
