[meta-intel] [PATCHv4 5/6] rmc: add recipe and bbclass for RMC feature

RMC Feature is based on RMC project, systemd-boot, EFI installer
to enable a single generic image, built for multiple platforms,
automatically applies customization and quirks specific to a type
of boards at runtime.

In another word, you will see a single image behaves differently
and intelligently according to the type of board it is running on.

To Enable this feature: add this line in conf file:
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " rmc"

Based on Saul Wold's initial work on a feature switch, RMC patches
in systemd-boot, installer and gnu-efi aren't built unless the
feature is enabled.

For a supported board, this feature can :
() show and boot with board-specific boot entries in boot menu
in live-boot and post-installation.

() apply a kernel cmdline fragment to the end of cmdline to boot
Linux kernel. This is effective for any boot entry user chooses in
boto menu.

() create directory and deploy files only for the type of the
running board to target's file systems. What left on target after
installation is just same as the result from installing a conventional
image customized for a single type of hardware.

To add support of new boards, a new variable RMC_BOARD_DATA_DIRS
is the interface to developers. How-to information will be provided
with examples in following patches.
