filesystem package installs things that are definitely not part of the 'filesystem'

[ddstreetmicrosoft]

The filesystem package description is:

The filesystem package is one of the basic packages that is installed
on a Linux system. Filesystem contains the basic directory
layout for a Linux operating system, including the correct permissions
for the directories. This version is for a system configured with systemd.

However the package contains files, which are definitely not directories, specifically:

/etc/fstab
/etc/group
/etc/hosts
/etc/inputrc
/etc/modprobe.d/usb.conf
/etc/passwd
/etc/profile
/etc/profile.d/proxy.sh
/etc/sysconfig/clock
/etc/sysconfig/console
/etc/sysconfig/proxy

These don't really belong in the filesystem package; some other distros provide some of these files in the setup or initscripts packages. For azl3 it would probably be good to move these files out into different package(s).

I am supportive of this suggestion to make the filesystem package specifically do just the basic filesystem directory layout, and move other scripts over to dedicated packages in 3.0.

For the desired directory structure, thinking we probably should align closely with Linux FHS 3 (FHS Specs), unless we have clear reasons not to.
