    image: implement IMAGE_FEATURES
    IMAGE_FEATURES is analagous to DISTRO_FEATURES and
MACHINE_FEATURES, for    root filesystem construction. Currently, the
only supported features are    any defined package groups, as used by
the oe.packagegroup python    module.
    Example usage:
        PACKAGE_GROUP_myfeature = "vim iptables"        IMAGE_FEATURES
+= "myfeature"
