PoC RFC Add iPXE files to install-amd64-minimal upload

Extracts and generates needed files to perform iPXE boot from gentoo mirrors
Provided as PoC of what is needed for this to be vaild
If merged this would resolve NiKiZe/Gentoo-iPXE#2
Will be providing PoC for doing most of this in catalyst instead as well
Really want to have this in the same target as minimal livecd

To test result with qemu localy after build (replace your variables):
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -M q35 -m 1024 -cpu host -nic user,model=virtio,\
tftp="${BUILD_SRCDIR_BASE}"/builds/default,\
bootfile=install-amd64-minimal-${TIMESTAMP}.ipxe \
-boot menu=on -usb
