The is absolutely no need for any new ones and I just made it conform to
existing standards. Binary output goes into DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE. It should
have a name consistent with other output that ends up there. Other
external tools are still perfectly free to change DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE and
INITRAMFS_SYMLINK_NAME as needed.

"DEPLOY_TO" just makes a mess of the consistency and efforts other
develops have made and are making.

Most OE variables are overridable at the user, machine and distro
levels. External tools equate to the "user" and the power of OE means we
don't need any new ways to do this since we already have perfectly good
ones.
