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.

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.

The secure= option is not supported in the defaultboot section when a
menu is used. It should be placed in the menu section in this case.

Add zipl and zipl.conf man page updates.
The zipl man page will look like:
-S <SWITCH> or --secure <SWITCH>
Control the zIPL secure boot support. <SWITCH> 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 zipl.conf man page will look like:
secure = auto/1/0 (configuration only)
Configuration section:
Control the zIPL secure boot support. Set this option to one of the following:
- auto: 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 default value for 'secure' is auto.

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.
