It is used by the next patch.
Specifically, ->filter() and ->sort() callbacks of the scandir(3)
accept only short names of directory entries to be filtered/sorted,
while we need to know absolute names to perform filtering/sorting.

Debian carried a patch forever that allowed zipl to run even if not all
menu items had files attached. If a required file is missing for an
entry (e.g. vmlinuz.old or initrd.img.old) and it is marked as
"optional" in the config, the section will be skipped. This allows
zipl to install after bootstrapping, as booting on s390 still relies
on the kernel/initrd symlinks in the root directory.

Fix that a misleading BLS error message is printed in any case for missing
files.
The scan_check code in zipl already does proper error handling for missing
file. Remove the duplicated error handling from scan_check_bls and just use
the function to update the file with the target path if needed.
To indicate the intention of this function also rename it.

In the BLS files, the 'linux' and 'initrd' fields are relative to the
$BOOT directory. If $BOOT is a mount point of boot partition, 'linux'
and 'initrd' fields are relative to boot partition. If not, the paths
are relative to $BOOT directory of root partition.
zipl always starts searching at / regardless of partitions and mount
points.
This commit extends the semantics of target= field in zipl.conf to make
it as a second search path, besides /, for those 2 BLS fields.
See issues #69 for more details.

Add a command line option and configuration section keyword to control
the zIPL secure boot support. This option is named "secure" and can take
one of three values:
auto (default)
Write signatures if available and supported by the system.
1
Signatures are written independent of support indicated by the local
system. Also missing signatures for stage 3 and kernel IPL files
will result in an error.
0
No signatures will be written.

The BootLoaderSpec (BLS) defines a file format for boot configurations,
so bootloaders can parse these files and create their boot menu entries
by using the information provided by them [0].
This allow to configure the boot items as drop-in files in a directory
instead of having to parse and modify a bootloader configuration file.
If the /boot/loader/entries exists and there are BLS files there, then
these are parsed and configuration sections are added without the need
to have these in a zipl.conf file.
A different BLS directory can be specified from the command line using
the --blsdir option.
