[Bug 1575236] Re: adjust the s390x parts of the install guide

[Frank Heimes]

Found some minor issues in the representation of special ASCII characters in the PDF version and some lines that were to long and run into the border.
Fixed that with revision 550.
Content-wise everything is fine.
Changing tags accordingly.

  adjust the s390x parts of the install guide

Bug description:
  IBM and also some early adopter customers complaint about the official Ubuntu 16.04 installation guide for s390x (IBM System z):
  https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/installation-guide/
  mentioning that:
  - it contains partly outdated information and links
  - that there is not enough s390x / IBM z Systems focus
  - that the naming is not correct
  - that it includes information that is not relevant to s390x

  Due to these complaints and because of the urgency I created an adjusted and revised version of the install guide with special s390x focus and transformed it (for convenience reasons) to a wiki.
  It is located here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/InstallationGuide

  
  SRU Request:
  ============

  [Impact]

   * Updated the desired changes of the inst. guide regarding naming
  conventions etc.

   * and s390x specific details

   * Because 18.04.1 is the main upgrade target it's important to have
  it in place with 16.04.1

   * The changes on the doc not only updated the outdated content ...

   * ... but also added new functions and technology (like FCP) that was
  added to the platform since the last update

  [Test Case]

   * Open the updated doc - as either html, PS, PDF or txt ...

   * and compare the modified and new content with the current
  functionality the platform provides

  [Regression Potential]

   * The regression potential is low because most changes are platform
  (s390x) specific

   * However, since it's written in docbook with several conditional
  statements changes on one platform may cause an impact to other, too.

   * For verification reasons I created the guide after my changes not
  only for s390x, but also for other platforms...

   * ... and even found two issues that I fixed (nested use of xml
  elements, that cause issues while creating PDF, even if HTML creation
  still worked fine ...)

   * No impact is expected on an Ubuntu installation itself - since it's
  documentation only.
