dist-kernel-utils.eclass: Support dracut's uefi=yes option

Support dracut's uefi=yes configuration option that creates a combined
UEFI stub, kernel and initramfs in a single UEFI executable.  If such
an output is detected, install it in place of the actual kernel image
and stub out the duplicate initrd to save space.
