Fix/Refactor s390 support
This changes the s390 support on several stages:

1) On s390 the boot process is based on zipl which boots into an
   initrd from which a userspace grub process is started to support
   the grub capabilities. The implementation of this concept is
   provided via the grub2-s390x-emu package. Once installed the
   setup of the bootloader is done via the grub2-mkconfig and
   grub2-install commands and therefore from a caller perspective
   the same as with any other grub2 setup process. For kiwi this
   means no extra zipl bootloader target code is needed. Therefore
   this commit deletes the zipl setup from kiwi and puts on
   the standard grub2 process. This Fixes bsc#1170863

2) To support different targettypes the grub2-s390x-emu provided
   zipl template must be adapted. Parts of the former zipl bootloader
   setup therefore now applies to an update of the zipl2grub
   template file

3) Support for CDL/LDL DASD targets has been disabled in the schema
   When testing 4k devices and a respective zipl2grub template
   setup for CDL/LDL targettype it has turned out that grub2-install
   is not able to run on such a device. My assumption is that
   the device code in grub2-install does not work for 4k devices
   with an fdasd created partition table. As this needs further
   investigations and most probably adaptions on the grub toolchain
   for s390, we disabled the setup of these modes for now.
   emulated DASD (FBA) and SCSI targets stays supported.
