[meta-virtualization] [PATCH 4/4] xen-image-minimal: update image to support xen 4.3.0 base with xl toolstack.

The reasoning for xen-image-initramfs was that I had minor issues with
using stock core-image-minimal-initramfs and initramfs-live-boot.

However, I have since tracked down the issue I was having with
initramfs-live-boot, and determined we could drop initramfs-boot-xen in
favor of initramfs-live-boot simply by adding LABEL=boot to the kernel args.

Beyond that, vanilla core-image-minimal-initramfs would hang at "Waiting
for removeable media..." indefinitely.  After some testing, It appeared
that adding coreutils to core-image-minimal-initramfs would resolve the
issue (though not yet sure why, but looking into it).
