Support for Easy OS image

BarryK is using limine now to set up a EXT4 partition for Easy OS , but I was wondering if it was possible to make changes to lick so it could use an image rather than an ISO . Limine is dropping EXT4 support https://github.com/limine-bootloader/limine/commit/7119459b0725bcd77b54167be7558a4d93420ba1

A frugal install of Easy OS just requires an EXT4 partition to be created then the transferal of a few files, https://easyos.org/install/easy-frugal-installation.html#:~:text=In%20the%20ext4%20partition%20of,one%20folder%20in%20the%20partition

While it's possible to do this, this goes beyond what LICK is intended to do, which is a frugal install on a Windows-accessible partition. Notably, this restriction lets us avoid the potential issues that come with partitioning the hard drive, along with the undo steps required when uninstalling. Unfortunately, this means Easy OS is not supported.
