[OE-core] [PATCH 4/5] bootimage.bbclass: Improve EFI & PCBIOS+EFI ISO support

Using the latest mkisofs it is possible to generate 3 different types
of ISO images, which can be used in various scenarios.

1) PCBIOS Only ISO
   - This option remains unchanged by this commit
   - Uses syslinux menus
   - Can be directly copied with dd to a USB device
   - Can be burned to optical media

2) EFI Only ISO
   - Uses grub 2 menus
   - Can be burned to optical media
   - If you want to use this image on a USB device
     extra steps must be taken in order to format the USB
     device with fat32, and copy an EFI loader which will
     in turn load the iso image

3) PCBIOS / EFI ISO
   - This is a hybrid image ISO that will work for case 1 or 2
     as above with the same restrictions and boot menu types
     depending on what type of firmware is installed on
     the hardware or depending on if EFI or "Legacy Boot" is
     enabled on some UEFI firmwares.
