[yocto] RFC: Selecting base images in Hob

[Barros Pena, Belen]

Thanks!

I'll move core-image-core to the stripped-down group.

We don't need to enforce a one to one relationship between images and
groups: an image could be in more than one group, so we could also create
a 'for development' group with all the sdk and dev images.

Any other suggestions on how to group the existing base images?

Cheers

Belen
