This is split out of #38764. It mostly introduces the "chrome" stuff that puts a blue at the top of bottom of the terminal screen when going through interactive tools such as firstboot, homed-firstboot, and (in future) systemd-sysinstall). it also introduces a generic "prompt_loop()" helper thatn queries the user for some option in a loop until the rsponse matches certain requirements. It's a generalization of a function of the same name that so far only existed in firstboot.c. The more generic version will be reused in a later PR by homed-firstboot and by sysinstall.
