The .manifest file contains the list of installed packages, along with their
binary -> source package relations. We recently added support to generate
the manifest also for an external initrd rootfs, however support for the
imager was still missing.

This series adds this support and also creates a uniform manifest file for
all components in the .wic image. As the imager dependencies cannot be
tracked precisely in an automated way (the IMAGER_INSTALL contains tooling
as well as artifacts which are copied into the image), we add a new variable
IMAGER_BOM to define the set of packages that should end up in the BOM.

The RFC implements this support for the .manifest file. Later on, a similar
approach can be implemented for the SBOM.

Best regards,
