The firmware needs to know which memory locations are used by
the stage 3 loader so that it can allocate its own memory.
To indicate the usage of the heap and stack area of the stage 3 loader
add a dummy component to block this memory area for the firmware.

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.

Add support for parsing IPL file signatures as produced by the Linux
kernel's sign-file tool. When preparing a disk for IPL, the signatures
will be added as separate data components that can be used by the Secure
Boot firmware feature to validate the integrity of the IPL files.

The first component that gets control after IPL is the zIPL-provided
stage 3 boot loader. This boot loader is based on a binary image linked
into the zIPL executable. When preparing a disk for IPL, zIPL updates
runtime parameters in the boot loader image and writes the resulting
data to disk.
To support the Secure Boot firmware feature, the stage 3 code must be
signed, and can therefore no longer contain variable parameter portions.
Also the boot loader image should be accessible as a separate file to
enable the use of external programs for creating the signature.
This patch moves the stage 3 boot loader code to an external file
location and splits out the parameter portion into a separate, unsigned
on-disk component.
The new memory layout of the stage 3 loader during its execution looks
as follows:
* 0x0000-0x1fff Lowcore
* 0x2000-0x5fff Memory allocation (heap)
* 0x7000-0x8fff free
* 0x9000-0x9fff Stage3 parameter
* 0xa000-0xcfff Stage3 code
* 0xd000-0xefff Section: bss, rodata, data
* 0xf000-0xffff Stack

The binary Linux kernel image is built to be loaded to memory address
0x0 but the first 64 kbyte contain an IPL header that is not used for
disk IPL. zIPL strips away this IPL header when writing IPL records to
disk, loads the remaining data to memory address 0x10000 and uses the
memory area below that for its own boot loader code.
The Secure Boot firmware feature checks the integrity of an installed
image during IPL using a checksum that was generated for the full image.
Since the checksum becomes invalid if the IPL header is removed, zIPL
must be changed to write the full image to disk.
This patch modifies the zIPL logic to no longer strip away the IPL
header. Instead the full image is loaded to a higher memory address and
relocated by the stage 3 boot loader code to its final location.

The macro names are a mixture of the original file system dumper (FSDUMP)
and its extension to cut the file system and write directly to a partition
(PART). The original dumper no longer exists and today the feature is
called zfcpdump. Prevent confusion by renaming the macros to fit todays
usage.

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.
