Jan Grant 6df7039ba1 Parameterise PXE kernel and initrd selection

When using custom-built kernels, their filenames may not necessarily
follow the standard naming conventions for the stock systems in question.

This patch permits the specification of an alternative pattern to use
when looking for the correct kernel to construct the PXE images from.

Example:
  export DIB_BAREMETAL_KERNEL_PATTERN="kernel*jang"
  export DIB_BAREMETAL_INITRD_PATTERN="initrd*jang"

This is the baremetal (IE: real hardware) element.

Does the following:

extracts the kernel and initial ramdisk of the built image.

Optional parameters:

DIB_BAREMETAL_KERNEL_PATTERN and DIB_BAREMETAL_INITRD_PATTERN may be supplied to specify which kernel files are preferred; this can be of use when using custom kernels that don't fit the standard naming patterns. Both variables must be provided in order for them to have any effect.
