curtin:xenial:amd64 Install custom kernel
* MAAS does not give any possibility to install
custom kernel version, via node definition
* Add possilibility to define:
- exact kernel version
- few extra pkgs, to be installed during
curtin stage
Warning: in that case, global maas variable
'maas_config:default_min|max_*_kernel:' will
be ignored at all.
