image: Introduce the mbr-hybrid-raw image type.

Browse source 
Until 209204e23b and
d57cab7641, the default image type used by "guix
system image" was an MBR image with an ESP partition.

Having both an MBR image and an ESP partition is handy because the image will
boot on most x86 based systems using legacy BIOS and/or UEFI.

We now have a distinction between MBR images and EFI images. Introduce a new
MBR hybrid image type and default to it to restore the default behaviour.

This also fixes the images section of (gnu ci) that was trying to install a
BIOS bootloader on an EFI, GPT image and failing to do so.
