feat: enable Fedora 44 hypervisor recipe with systemd-boot

- uncomment the hypervisor recipe, targeting Fedora 44 with systemd-boot, hardware-support and the intelcpu variant - make intelcpu.ks bootloader-aware: with systemd-boot kernel arguments must go to /etc/kernel/cmdline, not /etc/default/grub
