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!)
Only arrangement (1) has been tested.
