Code Review
This pull request introduces a configuration step to set 'zipl' as the bootloader for s390x architectures within the ostree repository. A review comment identifies that the configuration key used should be 'sysroot.bootloader' rather than 'bootloader' to ensure it is correctly placed in the configuration file. Additionally, it was suggested to integrate this change into the existing configuration loop to improve efficiency by avoiding an extra process execution.

`zipl` cannot dynamically read BLS config at boot, and requires the MBR to be updated before. So we set `zipl` as the bootloader for s390x by default. Otherwise, s390x systems cannot reboot into new deployments. We set the ostree parameter after the initial ostree deployement because it fails if called during it. See https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/blob/99bb23e7dfbfa8f1ae8b9bfaca9ff2e6d98c6cba/src/osbuild-manifests/build.common.ipp.yaml#L160-L163 Fixes bootc-dev#2151 Signed-off-by: jbtrystram <jbtrystram@redhat.com>

This reverts commit 90a6d6e. In 10f346e we switched rawhide to use `bootc install to-filesystem` to create our disk images. This was reverted in 90a6d6e because of s390x issues. A PR with the fix is now opened in bootc : bootc-dev/bootc#2152 and the tests denylisted in coreos#4117 so let's revert the revert to enable this again.
