Somehow it took me 45 minutes to notice the giant logic fail in my
thinking: if what we're trying to achieve is 'don't install firewalld in
a minimal install', obviously firewalld's default firewall configuration
is entirely irrelevant. To achieve the above, we don't need to make sure
that the default configuration leaves port 22 open when firewalld is
installed, but that the default configuration leaves port 22 open when
firewalld is *not* installed. D'oh.

We can still not bother poking the firewall configuration by default in
anaconda if firewalld's package default leaves port 22 open and
firewalld is being installed, which would still be a valuable
simplification of what anaconda has to do and is still a sensible
change, but obviously, we can't use that as a reason not to install
firewalld in a minimal install.
