Skip boot flag check when installing to directory

In commit 8b59cb0b5c0cfa the check_boot_flag was moved from
install_grml() to main(), though inside install_grml() we
had the special casing whether the target is a directory or not.

To avoid having to add this check before any possible check_boot_flag()
invocation (and possibly forget about it), add this check to the
implementation of check_boot_flag().

we don't have version information included in the file names and also
have shared files like boot/syslinux/hidden.cfg, so this might unexpected
side effects as well. So instead let's explicitly check for the provided
custom boot options.

Notes regarding the implementation:

* If boot options are whitespace-only or empty, nothing will happen. This
  prevents str.replace to do unintended things.

* otherwise consider string "PRE some-boot-options POST". Then we should find
  'some-boot-options' and remove them. Why the delimiter handling? Consider
  some-boot-options is 'ssh'. If we replace line.replace(bootopt, '') then some
  fictitious boot option like 'service.ssh=autostart' would be broken. Thus the
  space delimiters are necessary.

* However, the space delimiters might not exist if the boot options occur at the
  end of the string. Thus special handling is required for this case.

("Simplify mount point handling by using /run/live instead of /lib/live/mount")
