ref-manual: Updates to deal with installing packages in initramfs
Fixes [YOCTO #4961]
Documented the user requirement to use PACKAGE_INSTALL to specify
packages for installation into an initramfs image. Normally,
you use IMAGE_INSTALL. To account for this user model, I updated
the PACKAGE_INSTALL and IMAGE_INSTALL variables. I also added
a bit more information to the "Images" chapter item that
talks about the core-image-minimal-initramfs image.
