wic: Initial code for wic (OpenEmbedded Image Creator)
Initial implementation of the 'wic' command. The 'wic' command generates partitioned images from existing OpenEmbedded build artifacts. Image generation is driven by partitioning commands contained in an 'Openembedded kickstart' (.wks) file specified either directly on the command-line or as one of a selection of canned .wks files (see 'wic list images'). When applied to a given set of build artifacts, the result is an image or set of images that can be directly written onto media and used on a particular system. 'wic' is based loosely on the 'mic' (Meego Image Creator) framework, but heavily modified to make direct use of OpenEmbedded build artifacts instead of package installation and configuration, things already incorporated int the OE artifacts. The name 'wic' comes from 'oeic' with the 'oe' diphthong promoted to the letter 'w', because 'oeic' is impossible to remember or pronounce. This covers the mechanics of invoking and providing help for the command and sub-commands; it contains hooks for future commits to connect with the actual functionality, once implemented. Help is integrated into the 'wic' command - see that for details on usage.
