In the commit 63205a4dc4c400f75571869d87682c0cdb475830, there was
introduced a change in the decision logic of the 20-zipl-kernel.install
script. Specifically, whether the Boot Loader Specification (BLS) is
used. Instead of just checking the existence of the /sbin/new-kernel-pkg
file, the existence of the /boot/loader/entries directory is also
checked.
More thorough testing revealed that the above commit covers only the
case when a new kernel is added. However, the remaining cases should
also be covered. That means the case when a rescue kernel is added and
the case when some kernel is removed.

The 91-zipl.install kernel-install script attempts to execute zipl when a
kernel is installed, but this will fail if there isn't a zipl confg file.
Also, the kernel-install scripts are using ',' as the sed delimiter when
updating the kernel command line options in the BLS fragment file. But it
is valid to have that character in a cmdline so instead use '#' for that.

Add patches to support population IPL sections using BootLoaderSpec files
instead of having them defined in the zipl.conf file. This allows to have
a static zipl.conf file, and update the boot entries by just dropping BLS
fragments files in a directory.
In this configuration the grubby tool isn't used, and instead all needed
tasks (copy kernel, generate an initramfs, copy BLS configs, etc) should
be made by kernel-install scripts.
