This uses a "deviceinfo_create_initfs_extra" to allow including
initramfs-extra files in the initramfs and skip creating a separate
initramfs-extra archive when it's set to "false".
If this variable is unset, mkinitfs uses a default value of "false".
This library has a convenient "source file" method designed for sourcing
shell envs and returning values set in them. deviceinfo's syntax every
where else seems to be "whatever sh can 'source'", so using this library
seems a lot nicer than trying to implement a parser/interpreter here
(and almost certainly missing corner cases, functionality, etc)

This is mostly a preparatory commit to later be able to read the
deviceinfo from multiple places. It has a bit better encapsulation,
and makes the functions methods, so that they can update deviceinfo
file in-place.
This greatly reduces the chance accidentally adding dependencies to the
other (currently unused) variables later on. Getting away from depending
on deviceinfo has a lot of benefits, but mainly it helps offload
device-specific boot configuration to boot-deploy. Handling those
complexities in a shell script is often nicer.
Also, reducing the need to handle variables that contain lists means
that this app doesn't have to worry about how to merge/handle multiple
versions of those. That might be useful later if mkinitfs has to read
deviceinfo config from multiple deviceinfo files.
For example, trying to figure out how to merge these two things is...
ehhh...
a_modules_initfs="abc bar banana bazz"
b_modules_initfs="foo bar bazz bar2 guava"
This is a janky way to capitalize the first letter of the word.
strings.Title was kind of overkill anyways I guess, since the reason for
its deprecation wasn't even anything we'd hit in our usage of it (unable
to detect some unicode punctuation for word boundaries... which a
deviceinfo field wouldn't have anyways...)

U-boot files may be used to generate boot images during boot-deploy stage,
for example u-boot's FIT images, android boot images. If there's no u-boot
directory for device, skip copying.
deviceinfo: add UbootBoardname
Alpine u-boot package places board files in separate directories,
/usr/share/u-boot/$boardname. This param specifies device u-boot subdirectory.
