Change hwpacks to use hwpacks v2
As linaro-image-tools now has all the planned code changes to support hwpacks v2, we should start the transition and move all hwpacks to use hwpackv2, as it'll probably make our life easier during the release.

[dzin, Oct 3, 2011]: Opened bug #865573 against the postponed item.
Headline: Ubuntu hardware packs are now ported to use version 2, allocating the hardware specific configurations at the hwpack itself, without depending on linaro-image-tools to provide them.
Acceptance: All hwpacks ported to v2 and working with latest linaro-image-tools the same way as with v1, without any regression.
