[PATCH v2] defaultenv: boot/net: Boot initramfs from tftp if present

Use an 'initramfs' file if it exists instead of nfsroot. This offers the
possibility to quickly boot complete filesystems as initramfs without
the need to flash an SD-card or similar. If the initramfs does not
exist, it uses the default nfsroot mechanism.

Changes in v2:
- Changed variable name to 'initramfs' to make clear that this is intended to
  be used for initramfs. initrd is possible but requires additional linux
  bootargs
- Removed the hardcoded 'rdinit' bootarg
