Split bootstrap --system-only / --build-tools-only into system-deps / extract-toolchain / build-tools

--system-only currently does 'install system deps' (for platform) and 'extract toolchain' (for target_platform). This is bad because:

  1. Installation of system deps is an infrequent task
  2. Installation of system deps requires root on Linux
  3. Installation of system deps needs to be done in the Dockerfile when building the image
  4. Extraction of toolchain is a frequent task
  5. Extraction of toolchain needs to be done in CI jobs, not when building the image

The new options must allow picking one, two, or all of these tasks.
