Mark every command that requires to be run as root by prefixing them

At some point we probably want to replace this with a curated list

Unetbootin works by altering the image and placing a boot loader on it.
For this reason, it cannot work with UEFI and the installation guides
for other distributions (incl. Debian and Fedora) recommend against
using it.
Since dd writes the image verbatim to the drive, and not just the files,
it is not necessary to change the label after using it for UEFI
installations.
vcunat: tiny changes to the PR. Close#14139.
Commit 159fed47bc (nixos/grub: Fix video display on efi) changed BIOS
systems to start in non-text mode as well. Enable FB_VESA to get a
framebuffer console on BIOS systems. Change FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE to 'y'
instead of the default 'm' to so the user doesn't need to manually load
the fbcon module anymore.
Other distros have similar defaults, at least on Arch:
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
and on Ubuntu (12.04):
CONFIG_FB_VESA=m
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
Fixes#8139
