[OE-core] [PATCH 1/2] initrd: Spawn an emergency shell when something goes wrong

[Ross Burton]

From: Damien Lespiau <damien.lespiau at intel.com>

set -e allows to exit if a command fails. We install a trap and execute
emergency_shell() when either the init script exits or when ctrl-c is
typed (say if we are stuck somewhere and we want to debug it).
