Acceptance criteria:

A bootstrap artifact is generated in /data/mender/bootstrap.mender
It contains:
- The name of the initial currently installed artifact name (previously stored in /etc/mender/artifact_info)
- Any artifact_provides attributes that the initial install should have
Artifact must not make any other changes to the system (zero payloads)
Remove /etc/mender/artifact_info from Yocto build
If there are still old Mender versions in the meta-mender branch, /etc/mender/artifact_info should still be generated for them
Make at least one acceptance test which tests that the client automatically installs the bootstrap artifact, and that it is deleted afterwards
- Signatures should be on for this test, so that we test that a key is not needed.
