Bug#1102604: rescue-mode: Provide rootfs subvolume selection menu

Great, thanks.

Just out of curiosity, since we support a number of scenarios, which
one was that? In case someone else wants to chime in and test another
one…

Condensing the changelog:

    1. The default installation to @rootfs (bullseye and later)
    2. The default installation to subvolid=5 (buster or earlier).
       "subvolid=5" was chosen over "subvol=/" for maximum disambiguation.
    3. Add support for rescuing btrfs systems installed via the Calamares
       installer found on Debian Live images: it uses subvol=@ (instead of
       subvol=@rootfs as seen with debian-installer).
