I agree with removing BootUnloadGuard, but I think it's not great to do
a bunch of lifting into closures then manually handling the result. It's
error prone imo (we already had several bugs relating to this kind of
thing). Instead, what about just using ScopeGuard directly? This lets us
avoid lifting into closures (which is a bit noisy) and avoids manual
result handling for failures (which is a bit error prone). With the
`GspBootContext` it's fairly easy to do now:

```
let unload_guard = ScopeGuard::new_with_data(unload_bundle, |unload_bundle| {
    let _ = gsp.unload(ctx, unload_bundle);
});
```

I confirmed that it's also compatible with the v2 of this series that
has the mutable Fsp - you can stash the context inside the ScopeGuard
data (then making a &mut reference to the stashed context for brevity)
or have a separate unload context type that doesn't use FSP or something
(could later be type parametrized along with Gsp, for example).

For example here is a rough diff on top of this patch series (you can
change the Result<Option<UnloadBundle>> returns to like
Result<Result<UnloadBundle>> if you want to centralise teh error
handling of a failed unloadbundle although currently it can only fail in
one location):
