[image] Use image replacement when executing extracted images
Use image_replace() to transfer execution to the extracted image,
rather than calling image_exec() directly. This allows the original
archive image to be freed immediately if it was marked as an
automatically freeable image (e.g. via "chain --autofree").
In particular, this ensures that in the case of an archive image
containing another archive image (such as an EFI zboot kernel wrapper
image containing a gzip-compressed kernel image), the intermediate
extracted image will be freed as early as possible, since extracted
images are always marked as automatically freeable.
