[Bug 1730647] Re: on s390x one should alway be able to manipulate z devices

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Triggered builds of cloud images with proposed enabled:
artful
https://launchpad.net/~cloudware/+livefs/ubuntu/artful/cpc/+build/114279
zesty
https://launchpad.net/~cloudware/+livefs/ubuntu/zesty/cpc/+build/114278
xenial
https://launchpad.net/~cloudware/+livefs/ubuntu/xenial/cpc/+build/114277

In all cases s390-tools is now installed as part of the ubuntu-server
package installation.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Currently s390-tools is not installed as part of the server seed,
  which leads to inconsistencies between manually installed systems with
  d-i and systems originating from cloud images - containers, cloud
  images, maas. d-i installs s390-tools, whilst the rest do not.
  However, s390-tools ship tooling to inspect, list, operate on z
  specific devices and should always be available across all of ubuntu,
  including containers, maas, etc. Hence seeding it to server seed.

  [Test Case]

   * s390x containers have s390-tools package installed
   * s390x cloud images have s390-tools package installed
   * s390x maas images have s390-tools package installed

  [Regression Potential]

   * This is calling ubuntu-meta update script only
   * The only other changes are those that have been introduced in other srus.
   * s390-tools is in main
