initramfs-framework: handle kernel parameters with . inside

Kernel parameters like "uvesafb.mode_option=640x480-32" were turned
into shell variables named "bootparam_uvesafb.mode_option", which
triggered errors from the shell because the name is not valid. Now
points get replaced with underscores, leading to
bootparam_uvesafb_mode_option in this example.
