[OE-core] [PATCH 2/2] wic: isoimage-isohybrid: debloat image of redundant rootfs

There's no reason to have that rootfs.img filesystem in the image:
it's not used for anything because both the EFI and legacy boot paths
use the /initrd which contains the same contents as the rootfs.img,
only compressed. It was probably forgotten in there :)

My iso went down from 224 to 94 mb.

Tested using UEFI/legacy boots on CD-roms, usb dongle and qemu VM's.
