mkosi: Keep mkosi.default out of the repository. 

Defaulting to fedora makes it a pain to override mkosi.default
point to one of the other mkosi settings files. Instead, have
every developer manually add the symlink to his distro
of choice and don't commit the symlink to the repository by
putting it in the .gitignore.

fresh build of the project in the local working directory. To make use of this,
please acquire `mkosi` from https://github.com/systemd/mkosi first, unless your
distribution has packaged it already and you can get it from there. After the
tool is installed it is sufficient to type `mkosi` in the systemd project
directory to generate a disk image `image.raw` you can boot either in
`systemd-nspawn` or in an UEFI-capable VM:
tool is installed, symlink the settings file for your distribution of choice from
.mkosi/ to mkosi.default in the project root directory (note that the package
manager for this distro needs to be installed on your host system). After doing

for systemd (this example is for Fedora):
```sh

$ sudo dnf install mkosi # install tool to quickly build images
$ sudo dnf builddep systemd # install build dependencies
$ sudo dnf install mkosi # install tool to quickly build images
$ git clone https://github.com/systemd/systemd.git
$ cd systemd
$ vim src/core/main.c # or wherever you'd like to make your changes
$ meson build # configure the build
$ ninja -C build # build it locally, see if everything compiles fine
$ ninja -C build test # run some simple regression tests
$ (umask 077; echo 123 > mkosi.rootpw) # set root password used by mkosi
$ sudo mkosi # build a test image
$ sudo systemd-nspawn -bi image.raw # boot up the test image
$ git add -p # interactively put together your patch
