These patches is to initialize initramfs-framework by default. The initramfs-framework
is able to boot up live image and enable the installation mechanism.

For the configuration to boot up live image, a new scriplet named setup-live module has been created
to handle the removeable media detection and assign the rootfs.img. This is because the current rootfs
module has no support for rootfs images, only rootfs partitions. A new initramfs-module-setup-live
recipe is being created and added udev-extraconf rdepends on this module because it is needed for
automounting process.

For the installation mechanism, it used the existing init-install-efi.sh script in the
initrdscript and install a new module named initramfs-module-install-efi in the recipe.

This changes has been verified with build test, boot up test and
installation test on Minnowboard Max platform.

Please review and provide feedback if you have any.
The patches are targeted for merging into poky master branch.

Thanks and regards,
Wei Tee
