Add additional facts about IBM SystemZ mainframes (thanks Dan Horák).

Add /proc/sysinfo from a real z/VM guest.

This file can in theory be used to detect the following three
arrangements:

 (1) Linux running in z/VM on an LPAR.
 (2) Linux running directly on an LPAR.
 (3) Linux running directly on baremetal (very unlikely!)

This modifies the virt-what script slightly so that a test
root can be passed, which causes all tests to be run relative
to that root directory (similar to a chroot).

We then provide a root directory with just enough files in it
to convince virt-what that it is a baremetal machine.

Note that the data in the files is completely real.  We do
not intend to add a test unless we can get data from the
real system.
