[Bug 2148605] [NEW] flash-kernel is outputting several confusing messages

Public bug reported:

Now that piboot-try is separated from flash-kernel it always reports the
pi 5 dtb as being the selected one, but this isn't accurate as it copies
*all* dtbs (as it always has). However, the output is definitely
confusing for new users, and there's no need to output anything.

Furthermore, on new installations (which haven't migrated from flash-
kernel) several (optional) config files are missing which results in
more noisy output. This should be corrected.
