[PATCH master] boot: do not attempt booting bootsource more than once

storage.builtin and storage.removable do not overlap, but bootsource
can overlap with one of them leading to confusing output, when the
bootsource has nothing bootable as the boot will be attempted twice.

Add a new .nonbootsource specialization and use that in the default.

While at it, also drop the unused bootcdev.
