Ubuntu Server images actually use U-boot by default on RPi3 and the
layout and naming of the files is slightly different on the boot partition.
That is why we need additional logic here to determinant what we are converting

On some RPi3 images, e.g Ubuntu Server there is no resize init script,
and these commands would fail trying to convert such an image.
This can also be useful on Raspbian images, if they have been booted
once before they are converted using "mender-convert"

And drop the workaround.
This includes only one change:

The goals of the re-write was to achieve the following:
1. It should be easy to extend the tool to support other boards or distributions
2. We should not compile code in the tool (rely on binaries built elsewhere)
compiling code increases complexity, due to requirement of toolchains etc.
3. The tool shall not be designed around specific hardware/platform types
- This is the case today with the usage of --device-type flag
4 The tool should be to convert images without knowing anything about the hardware/platform
relates to above 3.
5. Configuration interface should be simplified
- command line flags -> configuration files
6. Platform specific code shall be provided trough “hooks”, and are not part of the “core” mender-convert code
7. It shall be easy to extend functionality
- support for rootfs overlay to inject user applications/configurations
- ability to override how the Mender Artifact is generated (to be able to sign and include state-scripts)
8. Code structure should be modular
- Eases Maintenance and possibility of making isolated changes
