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.
