lib/deploy: Add support for additional initrds
In FCOS and RHCOS, the need to configure software in the initramfs has come up multiple times. Sometimes, using kernel arguments suffices. Other times, it really must be a configuration file. Rebuilding the initramfs on the client-side however is a costly operation. Not only does it add complexity to the update workflow, it also erodes a lot of the value obtained from using the baked "blessed" initramfs from the tree itself. One elegant way to address this is to allow specifying multiple initramfses. This is supported by most bootloaders (notably GRUB) and results in each initrd being checked out on top of each other. This patch allows libostree clients to leverage this so that they can avoid regenerating the initramfs entirely. libostree itself is agnostic as to what kind and how much data overlay initrds contain. It's up to the clients to enforce such boundaries. To implement this, we add a new option to the deploy APIs called `additional_initrds`: this is an array of filepaths to CPIO archives. We copy these files into the bootcsum on `/boot` and add them to the BLS as another `initrd` entry.
