[yocto] do QEMU images really come with dropbear and an nfs server?

It looks like we may need a manual tweak here.

core-image-minimal does not come with any ssh server. core-image-lsb 
should have openssh instead of dropbear. So unless something changed 
very recently, core-image-sato is the only one that has dropbear in it 
by default.

Also, the manual states "The QEMU images also contain an embedded 
Network File System (NFS) server that exports the image's root 
filesystem." This isn't strictly true - instead we offer a native tool 
which runs a userspace NFS server and if some prep work is done by the 
user (extracting a rootfs tarball with runqemu-extract-sdk), you can 
then point the runqemu script to that directory instead of a rootfs 
image file.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
