Ensure zIPL bootmap is up to date

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Make sure that /boot/bootmap is up to date.
Every time a boot entry or zIPL configuration is changed /boot/bootmap needs to be updated to reflect the changes.
Run zipl command to generate an updated /boot/bootmap.

Rationale

The file /boot/bootmap contains all boot data, keeping it up to date is crucial to boot correct kernel and options.
