scp in openssh 8.7 will change to use sftp protocol. See
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/194 for details.
This enables the sshd internal-sftp implementation so that newer scp
versions will continue to work as expected. Note that the sshd service
is only running during the installation if inst.sshd is passed on the
kernel cmdline.

Some of the options have been removed, others are now the default.
MOTD still needs to be printed, the boot environment doesn't include the
pam motd module.

(cherry picked from commit 51a4a93f90)
mk-s390-cdboot has stopped working because the kernel outgrew the
hard-coded offset it used when creating cdboot.img. IBM now has a script
in s390utils that can do the same thing so use the upstream script
instead.
This drops mk-s390-cdboot script, switches the s390 templates to use
mk-s390image from s390utils.
It adds @ROOT@ to cdboot.prm, and sets inst.stage2 so that the installer
image will be found when booting the iso.

The kernel messages will be read from journal so don't use additional imlkog
module to read them duplicitly.

Keep it same as in RHEL 7.2. They increase the size of the /tmp/syslog file
from ~280K to ~1M, and can be obtained from journal if needed.
Resolves: rhbz#1369439
Rsyslogd used to read messages from /dev/log together with systemd-journald
which resulted in NetworkManager messages not being passed to syslog due to a
race condition during starting NetworkManager and rsyslogd service. So use
imjournal rsyslog plugin that picks messages from journald instead of using the
/dev/log socket. Same as regular RHEL 7 system.
