refkit: activate minimal "stateless" changes

This enables the "stateless" distro feature and the "stateless" image
for all refkit-image.bbclass images.

However, only the changes that do no require upstream source code
patching get enabled. For example, systemd configuration gets moved
from /etc entirely into /usr.

Advanced changes like allowing local user management separately from
the system users are not enabled because they depend on
patches. Enabling those changes would increase the risk that building
IoT Refkit breaks when OE-core gets updated, and at this point it is
not certain whether that is a risk worth taking.
