[OE-core] [PATCH 2/2] runqemu: Allow the user to specity no kernel or rootFS

In some cirsumstances the user doesn't want to supply a kernel, rootFS
or DTB to QEMU. This will occur more now that QEMU supports loading
images using a '-device loader' method.

Allow users to specify 'none' for QB_DEFAULT_FSTYPE or QB_DEFAULT_KERNEL
to avoid supplying these options to QEMU.
