Add `cifs-utils` to allow mounting cifs fileshares

To allow mounting of fileshares, as described in minishift/minishift#316, we need to add cifs-utils to the image.
Unlike minishift/minishift-centos-iso#99, mount -t cifs gives no output if this is not supported. This means we can not test for support, instead I check for /sbin/mount.cifs and the output.

Fair enough. Is there otherwise no sort of package management command one could use? I guess not?
package management command
not sure if tce-load registered the package as it was unsquashed into the root filesystem. Likely it did, ... will check.
The actual problem is dependency resolving. Earlier packaged versions of cifs-utils relied on a package called samba3-libs (and more). In later releases this was renamed to samba-libs. Because we prepare the image, we can not rely on the dependency resolution process. We have to do this manually. I want to make sure the binary can actually run. For the CentOS image we do not have this problem, as the actually run an install process from during the livecd creator.
