initramfs: use overlayfs for /lib/modules, if available

Browse Source 
If overlay fs is available, use it for /lib/modules. This way the whole
/lib/modules will be writable and changes (like extra modules) will
persist in TemplateVM/StandaloneVM.

In practice, this will allow to conveniently build in-vm kernel modules,
even for dom0-provided kernels.
