Add boot-certificates as a parameter of s390-ccw-virtio machine type option.
The `boot-certificates=/path/dir:/path/file` parameter is implemented
to provide path to either a directory or a single certificate.
Multiple paths can be delineated using a colon.
How do users specify paths which contain a colon as a valid
character ?
It was suggested to separate lists of directories and files with a
colon, following the convention used by the shell PATH variable. As the
colon serves as a delimiter, it’s expected that individual paths do not
contain any colon characters.
I'm not sure if I understand why this is needed. Why would someone want
to have the certificates in two distinct locations, as opposed to all in
one directory or in sub-directories of a single main certificate
directory? Supporting only one path would simplify both the
implementation and the usage. Could we just not allow multiple paths,
or is there a use case that requires it?
