RFC: include empty folder boot/uboot also for i386 and amd64 in os build

[Jian LUO]

Hi Sergio,

Have you got time to look at the problem?

Further more, the ubuntu-core-generic-initrd can't detect U-Boot on x86
thus doesn't generate the correct fstab entry accordingly. I can workaround
the two issues with manually partitioning the SD image and patch
scripts/ubuntu-core-rootfs in my kernel snap. It would be great however if
Ubuntu core supports it officially.

Cheers,
Jian
