Use the directory specified by the shell environment variable TMPDIR
for temporary objects creation and ngdump job simulation. If TMPDIR is
not set, then use "/tmp" for the mentioned purposes;
While running ngdump job in 'dry-run' mode:
. Don't format/mount the target dump device. Instead, create the
bootmap file and the meta-file at the temporary mount point without
mounting anything to it. Thus, the mentioned files to be acrually
created in the "proxy" file system owning the temporary mount point;
. Retrieve base disk info from the read-only dump device and
complete that info with the block size of the proxy file system;
Separate the steps on retrieving/setting file system block size
into a dedicated procedure;
Use definitions instead of hardcoded file names;
Fix a bug in an error path (accessing freed memory);
Make misc_open_simulate() and misc_open_exclusive() static;
Update man pages with the requirements on the system environment
(resources) for ngdump job being executed in dry-run mode;
Provide hints for user (in stderr) in case when ngdump job in dry-run
mode failed due to inappropriate system environment.

Add --no-compress option to explicitly omit compression for single-volume
DASD dumper. Used primarily for test purposes.
Since only the lowest byte of mvdump_force field (struct
stage2dump_parm_tail) has been used, split it in two byte fields and use
one for the new no_compress attribute.
Update zipl help and zipl man page with the new parameter info.

Integrate zlib DFLTCC deflate compression to single volume dasd dumper
using the existing s390 extended dump format. Compression takes place
only if DFLTCC facility is available, otherwise dump is written
uncompressed as before.
First megabyte of memory is always written uncompressed and afterwards
this area is used for zlib workspace and for the compression output buffer.
The compression takes place in chunks of data of equal size (currently 1MB)
and the offset of each compressed chunk is stored in the dump segment
header. Since existing dump segment headers of 1 page size are used, we
need to limit the maximum size of compressed dump segments.
Chunk is written uncompressed in case of compression error or if
deflate compression only makes it bigger.
Thus every chunk of data is compressed separately and can be decompressed
independently. The main reason for that is to enable zgetdump to make fast
read seeks. Otherwise, zgetdump would need to decompress a big dump segment
in the worst case to extract a single piece of data.
Put compression related functions and structures to eckd2dump_zlib.c
and eckd2dump_zlib.h
Update zipl man page with the general information of zlib compression
support.

CCW and LD-IPL records cannot be used at the same time for dumps because
CCW dump uses the standalone dumper, while LD-IPL uses ngdump. The first
one writes data to the raw disk without any filesystem, while the second
one uses an ext filesystem. Therefore we need a way to tell zipl which
kind of dumper it should install, as both cannot be installed at the
same time. The device given is the same for both types, so we cannot use
this to decide which type to install. Therefore add a '--ldipl-dump' option
so the user can decide which type of dump to use.

The static analysis tool for Debian packages 'lintian', especially if called

This commit fixes typos that were identified by lintian and marked with

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.

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.
