Deprecate linux-kvm usage

Remove kvm-image altogether.

Previously for minimal image replace_kernel function replaced virtual
images with kvm, and called force_boot_without_initramfs. Now simply
call force_boot_without_initramfs for minimal image without replacing
kernel flavour.

This also means minimal images can now be built for arm64 and armhf.
