        enables secure boot.
        Note: Secure boot is NOT reproducible
        Here are the necessary steps:
        + create your keys with sbctl -> sudo sbctl create-keys
        + build with systemd once -> set this to false and build once
        + build with secureBoot true
        + verify that your keys are signed (note, only systemd and your generations should now be signed): sudo sbtcl verify
        + enroll your keys (microsoft is necessary for windows dualboot support, leave it there): sudo sbctl enroll-keys --microsoft
        + reboot with secureboot enabled
        Note: Some motherboards have vendor specific keys for secure boot, this may not necessarily work with our self signed keys
        You likely have to disable these vendor specific keys (example HP: sure boot)
