Please support only EFI partition as FAT32 (allow /boot to be EXT4)

[michaeluk01]

The Arch wiki says only /boot/efi or /efi has to be FAT32 and /boot can be EXT4 etc. But archinstall fails if you do that. Can you please add support for this.

I believe the root partition (/), which usually has the most storage, should be EXT4 for performance and reliability. However, both the boot partition (/boot) and the EFI partition (/boot/efi) should be FAT32 to ensure compatibility with UEFI systems.

It would be helpful if archinstall could enforce this configuration to prevent installation issues and align with UEFI standards. This could simplify the process for users.

Only the partition with EFI files has to be fat32, the boot partition is ext4 by default on Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora, it doesn't contain EFI files but does contain Grub or Systemd-boot files.
