The install boot option was giving the following error when one tried to
install the live image on a permanent storage of a BSP.
cat: write error Invalid argument
Installation image failed
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
Further digging into the issue, found out that the install script was trying
to do this:
cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
And in the base-files recipe the /etc/mtab is made soft link to /proc/mounts.
So the cat command was failing to write on /etc/mtab. As the contents of
the /proc/mounts is already reflected in the /etc/mtab file due to the
symlink-ing, there is no need for this step to recreate /etc/mtab in the
install script. So just removing this unnecessary step, which solves the
install issue of the live images.

[YOCTO #1919]
Create a basic EFI installer script modeled after the existing installer
and add it to a new initramfs-live-install-efi recipe. Update the
init-live.sh script to distinguish between LABEL=install and
LABEL=install-efi and select the appropriate script. Add the efi
installer to core-image-minimal-initramfs.
Update grub-efi.bbclass to use "LABEL=install-efi" when it detects a
label of "install". This is clearly not ideal, but a proper fix would
involve decoupling the LABELS assignment from the image-live.bbclass
usage of SYSLINUX_LABELS. We should be able to address that in a
follow-on clean-up series.
V2: Include missing initramfs-live-install-efi_1.0.bb
V3: Rebase after Radu's console_params fix
