rGa9425aeb1b8f: release: Always create METALOG for pkg installation

Summary

We always use METALOG / non-root mode for bootonly.iso, even if not
specifically requested by the user (by setting NO_ROOT).  Thus, add
`-o METALOG=METALOG` to PKG_ARGS unconditionally.

This may result in a spurious METALOG appearing on some release
artifacts for now (until all targets are converted to non-root mode)
but this is not a significant concern.

I'm not 100% convinced that a spurious METALOG won't cause any problems, but I'm sure any problems which do arise from that will be fixable. Please commit before next week's snapshots.
