devtool: build-image: allow specifying packages to add to image
Provide an option to devtool build-image to specify the list of packages instead of taking the list of packages produced by recipes in the workspace. Sometimes you don't want all of these packages; other times you want to add more. This is the most immediate fix for [YOCTO #8855], though it is a little crude so I would like to provide better means of customising the image contents later.
