[Bug 1387709] [NEW] utopic+ syslinux defunct because of missing assets

[Harald Sitter]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

Utopic's new gfxboot lost the ability to load data from outside the
bootlogo archive, intead requiring all data to be in the archive itself.
live-build needs to pack relevant data into the archive to get a working
boot screen again.

ubuntu-cdimage's workaround for this should be carried over, meaning
live-build would simply generate the bootlogo archive as final step in
lb_binary_syslinux.

[Test Case]

* sudo ubuntu-defaults-image --release utopic --package ubuntu-desktop --flavor ubuntu --components main,restricted,universe,multiverse
* boot created iso

[Regression Potential]

 None comes to mind. Potentially live-build ISOs grow a bit in size
since data would be duplicated (

[Other Info]
