Additional Info: Fixes for 18.04's recent kernel early microcode changes breaking customizer's UUID extraction from the initrd.

18.04 includes /usr/bin/unmkinitramfs in initramfs-tools-core, but earlier versions may not. It's included in this release's artifacts, just to save someone a hassle. Stick it in FileSystem/usr/bin/unmkinitramfs for releases earlier than bionic that have gotten microcode updates.
