Enable system update for netboot

At the moment update of netboot systems is unconditionally disabled:

LibreELEC.tv/init at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

I don't see why it wouldn't work for r/w share. Settings restore works just fine, and system update is no different.

If changing this behaviour is a no-go, a new kernel init argument overriding this would be appreciated.

Clone our git repo, make changes, build an image, test and prove it doesn't cause issues, then submit the required changes with test results to our git repo. There's no objection to netboot improvements, but it's a niche capability and almost nobody uses netboot so equally almost nobody is looking at the piece of our codebase.

I did some testing and required changes are more complex than simple removal of netboot check. I will investigate it further.
