[OE-core] [PATCH] core-image-minimal-initramfs: use initramfs-framework for initialization

initramfs-framework is more modular and expandable. This change was
proposed in commit 28fc6ba761ed4a47efa7c43e7f7dff5e2fe72b5e
"core-image-minimal-initramfs: use initramfs-framework by default" but
reverted due to the selftests runqemu.RunqemuTests.test_boot_machine_iso
and runqemu.RunqemuTests.test_boot_deploy_hddimg failing. Since then,
the kinks have been worked out, and missing functionality that had been
missed (non-EFI installation module) has been added.

Since the PACKAGE_INSTALL variable was getting so long with all these
individual modules getting added, I also introduced a new
INITRAMFS_SCRIPTS variable to the core-image-minimal-initramfs recipe.
This variable makes the recipe look much cleaner, and also allows easier
replacement or additions to the scripts.

Fixes [YOCTO #10987].
