fix: disable hostonly_cmdline for Gentoo by default

Our new users are stumbling over a check we added that prevents
accidentally including a cmdline for the live system in the initramfs
for the new install. Since the overall majority of our new users will
be setting a cmdline via the bootloader or system firmware anyway this
setting is not really useful for our users and only creates confusion
because there are now two knobs which control the same thing.

For that reason we would like to disable the hostonly_cmdline by
default (like Fedora does as well).
