[Bug 2035384] [NEW] Provide debug information for zipl and genprotimg

[Frank Heimes]

Public bug reported:

Today the s390-tools package does not provide debug information for the
zipl bootloader tool, nor for the genprotimg tool.

But debug info is desired for zipl and genprotimg.

But both (zipl and genprotimg) don't have build-ids,
since these are created as raw, hence don't have meta data (compared to the elf format).

- (It's a similar situation with the s390x Linux kernel,
-  there are also no build-ids, but the path is distinct and unambiguous.)
