Richie Buturla 20a4ebd83c zipl/boot: Fix undefined behaviour logic in menu
The code within 'menu_param()' previously assumed that a read from sclp
will never fail.

If 'sclp_param()' fails then 'endptr' is never initialised and
'loadparm' is compared with 'endptr' which is undefined behvaiour.

If a sclp read fails, an undefined 'endptr' is never accessed, and upon
a failed read, will return a new error code 'SCLP_ERROR' instead of
returning 'NUMBER_FOUND' which is incorrect logic wise.

Remove compare conditions and assignments of 0 in 'value', as 'value'
is initialised with 0 ('DEFAULT_MENU_ENTRY') and cannot be non zero,
only in the case where a number is found and we go to boot.

Logic:

Check if we got a number and boot from it.

If 'PRINT_PROMPT', break out to menu print logic.

If an 'SCLP_ERROR' occurs, print an error message and boot the default
since 'value' is initialised with 'DEFAULT_MENU_ENTRY'.

If 'NOTHING_FOUND', check if the menu is disabled. If disabled, go to
default boot. Otherwise break out to print logic.
