This class allows to customize a dracut initramfs by using
configuration files add addition modules and drivers.

It is recommended to use the addition of modules and drivers
sparely and prefer dracut configuration files.

This class has the option to add custom modules automatically to
the initramfs if:
 - The modules are provided by the ISAR build system
 - The module name is part of the package name, valid names are
   - dracut-<module-name>
   - <module-name>-dracut
   - <something>-dracut-<module-name>
