ref-manual: Updates to deal with installing packages in initramfs

Browse Source 
Fixes [YOCTO #4961]

Documented the user requirement to use PACKAGE_INSTALL to specify
packages for installation into an initramfs image.  Normally,
you use IMAGE_INSTALL.  To account for this user model, I updated
the PACKAGE_INSTALL and IMAGE_INSTALL variables.  I also added
a bit more information to the "Images" chapter item that
talks about the core-image-minimal-initramfs image.

(From yocto-docs rev: a1ad649cf310f281a7de584d5b9a1820ca99d4eb)
