kernel: microcode in every initramfs through mkinitcpio's microcode hook (issue 1977)

Declares amd-ucode and intel-ucode, the drop-in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/mesh-microcode.conf, the
initramfs script and mesh-kernel-initramfs.service; kernel_boot answers the running revision and
whether the images were built with the drop-in. Tests: 1977/AC1-AC5.

Builds: L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 (issue 1977 note 2)
