wic: Add --exclude-path option to rootfs source plugin.
It will omit the given path from the resulting partition, and if the given path ends in a slash, it will only delete the content, and keep the directory. Since mkfs only accepts whole directories as input, we need to copy the rootfs directory to the workdir so that we can selectively delete files from it. Since we want to use the copyhardlinktree() function, we need to put the generic oe lib in the module search path.
