Title:
  [21.10 FEAT] zdsfs: Transparent data set conversion (s390-tools)

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Fix Released
Status in s390-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  A Linux application can read and write EBCDIC-encoded data sets as ASCII.
  A Linux application can read data sets in the same format as resulting from an FTP transfer from z/OS to Linux (including record translations)

  Implementation:
  - zdsfs transparently converts all data using a conversion table specified during mount
  - Users must be able to specify applicable conversions on a per data set level (e.g. using configuration files specifying conversion steps per data set name)
  - also perform record conversion (records to newline) => the result should look exactly like the result of an FTP (both binary and ascii), depending on per-data set configuration directive
