functions: add_full_dir: path prefix strip-off
Add third argument to add_full_dir: strip_prefix.
The strip_prefix will be stripped off from the destination
path (path in the initramfs image) when adding files.
Rationale: Make it easier to add rootfs overlay hooks when
generating images.
add_full_dir can be invoked in this way:
add_full_dir /path/on/parent/rootfs-overlay * /path/on/parent/rootfs-overlay
The above invocation will add all content of */path/on/parent/rootfs-overlay*
into */* in the initramfs image.
