mkarchiso: skip including external microcode images if the initramfs file contains early_cpio

nl6720 requested to merge nl6720/archiso:skip-external-ucode into master

The early uncompressed CPIO archive containing microcode update files can be part of the initramfs file. To avoid wasting space, first check if the initramfs file contains early_cpio and only copy external microcode initramfs images if it does not.

This does not change airootfs/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/archiso.conf and boot loader configuration. Will still use microcode initramfs images as external files. This will most likely change in the future.
