The initramfs does not need grub-efi or the /boot directory since it
does not have to boot the system itself.  So create a version of the
tiny-image that strips those out and follow the oe-core methodology for
initramfs.

v4: Remove class for removing boot dir and put the logic in the recipe
    instead.
