arm-autonomy/wic: Deploy Xen related artefacts in the wic boot partition

This patch brings the following changes: * Documentation about how to customize the wic image for N1SDP * Introduce a custom wks and grub.cfg file for N1SP when building with `DISTRO_FEATURES += "arm-autonomy-host"` to include Xen artefacts and boot option. * Introduce a mechanism to include extra global settings for machines defined in meta-arm-bsp when building with `DISTRO_FEATURES += "arm-autonomy-host"`.

+Customizing Arm Autonomy Host image layout for N1SDP
+====================================================
+
+When buiding with `DISTRO_FEATURES += "arm-autonomy-host"` the user can
+perform a couple of customizations in the generated wic image:
+
+1. Set the guest partition size (default: 4iG) via `GUEST_PART_SIZE` and
+   `GUEST_PART_SIZE_UNIT` (M or G) variables to be set in any conf file. The
+   value of these variables should be aligned with the sum of all
+   XENGUEST_IMAGE_DISK_SIZE set for the guests. By default, LVM2 metadata is
+   1 MiB per physical volume, hence it needs to be taken into account when
+   setting GUEST_PART_SIZE.
+
+2. The wic image partition layout and contents with a custom wks file via
+   `ARM_AUTONOMY_WKS_FILE` variable (default:
+   arm-autonomy-n1sdp-efidisk.wks.in which is affected by GUEST_PART_SIZE,
+   GUEST_PART_SIZE_UNIT and GRUB_CFG_FILE variables).
+
+3. Custom grub.cfg file via `GRUB_CFG_FILE` (default:
+   arm-autonomy-n1sdp-grub.cfg) variable to be set in any conf file. The full
+   path or relative to `ARM_AUTONOMY_WKS_FILE` should be set.
+
+The `arm-autonomy-n1sdp-efidisk.wks.in` and `arm-autonomy-n1sdp-grub.cfg` files
+are located at `meta-arm-autonomy/dynamic-layers/meta-arm-bsp/wic`.
+
+Other variables can also be custmized to set what files need to be included
+in the wic image boot partition. Please refer to
+`meta-arm-autonomy/dynamic-layers/meta-arm-bsp/conf/machine/n1sdp-extra-settings.inc`
+for more details.
