* currently it's used only by image.bbclass, image_types.bbclass and
meta/recipes-core/images/build-appliance-image_15.0.0.bb
but if it's needed by some recipe which isn't itself an image, then
it's useful in bitbake.conf, e.g. we have a recipe for creating
VirtualBox appliances which combines .wic.vmdk with .ovf file to
create .zip with appliance, but for that we need the filename of
.wic.vmdk which now contains IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX

* we were hardcoding .rootfs suffix where needed, but for quite long
time it's configurable with IMAGE_NAME_SUFFIX and might not match:
