The image-bootfiles class is used to put all files listed in
IMAGE_BOOT_FILES into the root filesystem.
IMAGE_BOOT_FILES is used by the bootimg-partition wic plugin to put the
files into a boot partition.
Be able to list files as "boot files" in e.g. your .conf or image files
instead of install those in every recipe is a good thing.
It is not always desired to have a separate boot partition for boot
files. Sometimes it could be good to have them as a part of the root
filesystem.
For example, if a double copy strategy is used for update the system,
then you probably want to update both the boot files and root filesystem
at the same time as there may be dependencies.
