Eduard Shishkin e97c85bb80 zipl-editenv: added zIPL multienvironment support
. Support multiple namespaces in the installed environment block;
. Add option --site (-S) to specify a particular namespace
  when operating on the installed environment block;
. Add option --effective-site (-E) to specify a particular
  namespace. When using in a combination with the option -l
  (--list), it displays zIPL environment that would take place if
  the specified namespace was activated at boot time;
. Modify set/unset/reset/list operations over the installed
  environment block in the case when the option --site is specified

Eduard Shishkin 1fb859729e zipl: add basic support of environment block by zipl(8)
When installing a boot record for "ipl" and "menu" job, always add
an environment block as a boot component located in bootmap file
at offset alinged on file system block size boundary. When adding,
first try to import environment from a file at location specified
by newly introduced "--environment" zipl option, or by default at
"/etc/ziplenv". If nothing was imported, then add a blank environment
block. Optionally print the content of the environment block.

Store environment block size and address (as of boot component) in
stage3_parms.

Change interface of add_ipl_program(): add 2 additional arguments:
a pointer to bootmap file name and a predicate indicating if we
need to add environment block as a boot component.
