tests/functional/s390x: Add test for booting from a disk with 4k sectors

The DASD disks on s390x have a different sector size (4k) and use
a different layout of the boot loader data compared to the usual
"SCSI"-style disks with 512 sectors that are used with most modern
guests. To make sure that there are no regressions with 4k disk
booting, add a test case that uses a disk image with these 4k sectors
and check that we can successfully show the boot menu and and load the
right kernel in all supported cases.

Functional test that boots from a (incomplete) disk with 4k sectors
(DASD/ECKD geometry) and multiple kernels installed, so we can check
the boot menu and various LOADPARM options.
