This patch adds a new environment variable to the ubuntu-minimal
element called DIB_UBUNTU_KERNEL that allows you to specify the kernel
meta package that will be using to install the kernel inside the image.
It supports "linux-image-generic" (The default), "linux-image-kvm", and
"linux-image-virtual".
This allows building images that are smaller in size (~200MB smaller
qcow2) that have only the kernel modules necessary for virtual
machines.

Install hwe kernel for ubuntu-minimal. As noted this is currently
Xenial specific; we need this for initial bring-up so let's tackle
future releases as things progress.
Ensure we use ttyAMA0 for arm64 console too.

A small update was made to 4.4.0-96.119 that dropped the
initramfs-tools dependency from the kernel [1]. This had the
unfortunate affect of removing the initramfs from ubuntu-minimal and
making it unbootable, since we specify the root device via LABEL=.
Add the package explicitly alongside the kernel.
Also, small fix to pass unit tests
