Introduce a write simulation operation, which doesn't write actual
data and just updates the current position in the file.
This allows to emulate block lists for files located on raw devices
(not formatted with a file system). This is used by the next patches
in the series to implement '--dry-run' zipl option for dumps of all
types (not only ngdumps).
Introduce a 'misc file descriptor', which allows to mark individual
files as "opened in a simulation mode".
Whenever bulding a bootmap file, use either real write, or write
simulation depending on the mode set in the 'misc file descriptor'.

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.
