packages: seabios: fix payload not being added to the GNU Boot image

A bug has been introduced in

    a202dce646
    ("images: remove 'libgfxinit' from the image names.")

where we simplified images names without taking care of renaming the filename
used as the SeaBIOS build target.

This error was visible during the generation of the images:

    Creating new ROM image: bin/[...]/seabios_kgpe-d16-[...].rom
    payload/seabios/seabios.elf: No such file or directory
    E: Could not load file 'payload/seabios/seabios.elf'.
    E: Failed while operating on 'COREBOOT' region!
    E: The image will be left unmodified.

The resulting image was then missing a payload entry and was then
non-functional (people would then just get a black screen without any OS loaded
from the disk).

GNUtoo confirmed by bisecting that the commit cited above was indeed responsible
of the bug and also that the error message above was specific to this issue.

This commit fixes this bug by setting variables to hold the actual payload
location (making future changes easier), in the relevant files.

Switch to packages structure.

The various build scripts are scattered around in multiple
places. This make it hard for contributors to understand what they
need to modify.

Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.

So using that abstraction makes it easier to find where things are.

The scripts to install dependencies don't really fit the new structure
but for now we move them in to make sure that everything works
fine. This could be fixed later on and migrated to a single
dependencies packages by auto-detecting the distribution with
/etc/os-release.
