moss: Prime vfs cache on boot via systemd service

This should serve to make the first blit after boot run against a hot
vfs cache, which should improve the performance of the first blit for
Serpent OS systems installed to ext4 or f2fs roots in particular.

Neither ext4 nor f2fs blits will be as fast as xfs blits, so xfs currently
remains the recommended root filesystem for Serpent OS.

Additionally, include a oneshot .service for testing the time to prime w/
a cold vfs cache. Per the request of @ikeycode this service is gated
behind a `ConditionKernelCommandLine=moss.debug` flag, ensuring that it
will never be started by accident, and that users who need this sort of
functionality can add a drop-in /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/moss.debug.cmdline
snippet to access it.

This PR was also rebased onto newest main branch, which now shows blit
stats on actions creating a new fstx.
