This allows booster to be used as the initrd_generator with kernel-install (1).

This was based on the dracut. I'm not entirely sure when there would be an initrd file next to the kernel.
I also wonder if, if there is an existing "booster-*.img" file for the current kernel in the boot directory, if it should just copy that instead of building a new image.

At Arch Linux booster generates a corresponding initramfs file for each installed kernel. And puts the this generated file next to the kernel binary.

I would say let's do what other tools do already.
