[OE-core] [PATCH v2] kernel.bbclass: Create symbolic link to add ${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE} to boot package

* By default for some platforms U-boot assumes the kernel image is located in
  the boot directory of the root filesystem.
* The kernel.bbclass already includes the kernel image in the /boot directory
  but adds a version number to the file name.
* Create a symbolic link that names the kernel image in the exact way that
  U-boot expects.
