Combine flux bootstrap and flux install

[Thaval]

Hi,

I struggle a little with an easy setup and managing the yamls.
So flux boostrap does a great job setting up everything, but it doesnt give me the gotk-components files like flux install --export.
Is it always safe to run flux install --export for the previous flux bootstrap command?
I think we should have an option for the bootstrap command will just act like flux install --export, so giving us the manifests.

Example:

flux bootstrap git `
 --export
 --path="clusters/my-cluster/flux-system"

This will install flux-system and additionally export the manifests.

Yes, bootstrap executes the same code as install with the Git operations on top. Internally we have a Go package for generating the manifests, this code is shared between flux install, flux bootstrap and the Flux Terraform provider.

Do I need a RC relese for that to happen? Im missing the manifest files (gotk-components, gotk-sync and kustomization.yaml) but it seems to be pushing to git.
