image: create symlinks needed for merged /usr

Prepare the symlinks required for merged /usr at the time of rootfs creation.

The links created in rootfs are:
/bin --> /usr/sbin
/sbin --> /usr/sbin
/lib --> /usr/lib
/lib64 --> /usr/lib64

We cannot make these symlinks as part of 'base-files' or some other package.
Because at rootfs creation, installation of the package(say kernel) that depends
on these root folders/links fails, if package manager installs this package
prior to base-files.

These symbolic links in top level folder should be present as long as
 - kernel tools use /lib/{module,firmware}
 - shell scripts uses "#!/bin/sh"
