Improvement: Separate SO packages and extra packages #3

Right now we are installing the system packages and the optional packages in the same command. This doesn't allow the user to go super lean if they want.

Let's separate them and ask to the user, like civilized people.

base packages → Needed for the normal function of the OS. (Includes printer by default as the cups service is VERY small)
extra packages → Our opinionated recommended software (y/N as default). → If go trully lean, this may even not be necessary.

It would be a good idea to communicate what base packages we install to the user in the readme. So they know it even before downloading the ISO. I consider it important enough.

Note that we want to keep all this stuff in our installer files. Do not add any package to archiso.
