Neither image sets TI_CORE_INITRAMFS_KERNEL_MODULES or

TI_CORE_INITRAMFS_ENABLED gate in meta-ti-bsp stays off by default for
this machine. Force ti-core-initramfs to build via an explicit
do_build dependency in arago-image.inc, the common include every
tisdk-*-image recipe require.
Why do we need to force an initramfs on every platform/image? What is
the point? The point of the initramfs was that *some* boards need
some kernel modules to boot so we only require it for those platforms.
Is something like this okay?
To be fair, I'm not 100% certain about backporting any of this. We did
the initramfs in response to the newer kernels (ie upstream) building
something as modules and not built in. And we moved to that model in
6.18 (master/wrynose).
If there is something in scarthgap for 6.12 that requires this then we
should just update our 6.12 kernel to build the correct thing and not
need the initramfs. We haven't tested any of this code under scarthgap
and I'm not comfortable just shoving this in. We need to try and keep
scarthgap somewhat stable and not do things like this.
We should be able to have a config fragment that only applies for j722s
when building the kernel to configure it exactly how we want for just
j722s. No need to shoehorn in the initramfs for this.

With the above change I need to do some meta-ti fix as well.
