Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * opal-prd should be installed on OpenPOWER systems

  [Test Case]

   * install power system

   * check that /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,opal/diagnostics
  exists

   * if above is true, check that opal-prd package is installed

  [Regression Potential]

   * Additional package installation is performed, thus the install
  process may take longer, and additional disk space will be used.
  However the new code path is non-fatal, and all errors are ignored,
  thus all installation should still proceed past this point. For
  systems without relevant diagnostics exposed, this code path is a no-
  op.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Original bug report

  Just tried an install with current 16.04 network media, using standard
  server package selections, and it looks like opal-prd isn't installed
  by default:

   [jk at fstn ~]$ dpkg -l opal-prd
   dpkg-query: no packages found matching opal-prd

  This is required for RAS-type functions on OpenPOWER machines; and has
  a similar role to something like acpid, on x86.

  I'm not sure whether filing this against the skiboot package is best,
  or whether this should be moved to something installer-related. Happy
  to shift if necessary.
