zdev uses util_readlink() now and there are no users left
for misc_readlink() anymore. Remove it.

In some high-availability setups, root and boot disks of a Linux
installation are copied to remote sites that can take over execution
of a Linux workload in case of an outage of the original site.
A site in this context is an execution environment such as an LPAR
or z/VM guest.
Each site may provide a different set of devices, or require different
parameters to be applied per device. chzdev supports site-specific
device configuration for up to 10 sites. Each site is identified by
a number in the range 0 to 9. You can provide a separate set of persistent
device configuration for each site. The IPL Load parameter value specified
during boot determines the currently active site. Only the device
configuration of the active site is applied during boot and when new
devices become available. A common configuration can be provided that is
applied when no site-specific configuration is available for a device in
the active site.
User can use the --site parameter to configure devices for a specific
site only. Configuration actions without a site parameter apply to the
common configuration.
During the boot, the active site configuration is chosed based on the
IPL LOADPARM variable. If the LOADPARM contains no valid site-id (0 to 9),
the fallback-site id will be used. The fallback-site-id can also be
configured with the zdev tools by not specifying the --site parameter.
Some of the new chzdev/lszdev commands with site-parameter can be as
follows
1. chzdev -ep f001 --site 3
This command is used to configure the device f001 for the site 3. During
boot, if the LOADPARM value is S3, this device configuration will be
used.
2. lszdev --site 3
This command lists all the devices which are configured for site 3.
3. chzdev -ep f001
Above command does not have a --site parameter. This device settings
will be used for the following conditions
1. When the loadparm specifies a site, (e.g S3), and the device does not
have an associated config-set, zdev uses fallback config set.
2. When the loadparm does not specify any site information, then the
fallback config set will be used.
When the loadparm specifies a site, and the device does not have an
associated config set, nor a fallback site, nothing is configured for this
device.

This change adds base infrastructure for implementing internal device
attributes. In the context of the zdev tools, an internal device
attribute is a new type of device attribute with the following
characteristics:
- Can be set and removed like normal device attributes
- Affects zdev-internal handling only
- Does not correspond to an actual device attribute, that is
it has no representation in SysFS
- Can not be set in the active configuration
- Name starts with "zdev:" to prevent conflicts with actual
device attributes
Values for internal device attributes are stored in udev rules alongside
the normal persistent configuration of a device. They are encoded as
udev environment variables. Note that they have no further effect on
udev processing.

Auto-configuration is the name of a new configuration target that is
supported by chzdev and lszdev besides the existing active and
persistent configuration targets. Directives created in this new
configuration are stored as udev rules in the /run/udev/rules.d
directory.
Auto-configuration directives are only in effect if there are no
directives for the same device in the user-provided persistent
configuration. This allows users to override auto-configuration
directives if necessary.
Due to the volatile nature of the /run directory, auto-configuration
directives are cleared on reboot. Therefore mechanisms that generate
auto-configuration directives must recreate them on every boot.
The lszdev tool displays auto-configuration data both in list view
as well as in detail view. Users can specify the new option --auto-conf
to only show data from this configuration target.
Mechanisms that generate automated configuration directives can use
chzdev together with the --auto-conf option to create the corresponding
udev rules.
Note: This change does not include a mechanism that generates
auto-configuration directives.

Apply some changes to existing functions and data structures to simplify
the firmware configuration file support implementation.
- Make qeth and dasd subtype objects non-static
- Change the existing helper functions for reading file contents into
memory to also support binary functions
- Move some configuration file import functions to make them available
for use in other source files
