A small series with 2 patches that enable using wic (once again).

The first patch moves sdimage-wks to ${LAYERDIR}/wic. This is already
implemented in meta-yocto-bsp. The goal is to make wks files easier to
find. Since Yocto is in general dumping custom image building methods in
favor of wic, one would expect that wic is also usable with
meta-raspberrypi.

The second patch adds support for KERNEL_DEVICETREE to IMAGE_BOOT_FILES.
Currently, DTs will be copied over to boot partition when building
rpi-sdimg. However, when building a wic image, none of this happens and
once the process comlpetes, one will get an unbootable image. The patch
adds proper entries to IMAGE_BOOT_FILES also taking care of proper file
name transformation.

With these 2 patches, a wic image can be built by adding the following
settings to conf/local.conf:

   IMAGE_FSTYPES_append = " wic"
   # or with your favourite compression, eg. wic.xz
   WKS_FILES = "sdimage-raspberrypi.wks"
