Bug Description

[Impact]
Installations of s390x systems will fail. s390x requires zipl to boot
and curtin assumed it was in the target image. The change is simply
to install it from the archive if it is not present.

[Test Case]
Run curtin vmtest on s390 as:
  /tools/jenkins-runner tests/vmtests/test_simple.py:XenialTestSimple

[Regression Potential]
No regression potential on s390x as it simply did not work.
Errant code could accidently attempt installation of zipl on other
arch, but successful installation of other arch show that is not the
case.

[Other Info]

Before any s390x vmtests can be run on any regular basis the zipl command needs to be added as a dependency during install. Currently a basic test fails [1] with the output:

[ 114.303504] cloud-init[1482]: Running command ['chroot', '/tmp/tmpua0mwwjb/target', 'zipl'] with allowed return codes [0] (shell=False, capture=False)
[ 114.304453] cloud-init[1482]: chroot: failed to run command 'zipl': No such file or directory

Hi,

I'm not sure if we have solved the 's390-tools' are missing correctly.

http://images.maas.io/ephemeral-v2/daily/artful/s390x/20170628/root-image.manifest is missing s390-tool

And

http://images.maas.io/ephemeral-v2/daily/artful/s390x/20170628/artful/generic/boot-initrd

is missing chzdev tool.

Instead of curtin installing s390-tools, can we have s390-tools on the MAAS image the way we have it on the cloud-image?

Note, we need not to have s390-tools in container images.

Regards,

Dimitri.
