Atomic, Cloud and Docker images for s390x
Summary
This change is to bring s390x architectures closer to other Fedora architectures by adding some of widely used Fedora variants. This includes docker images, Atomic Host (isos, qcow2 and raw format) and regular cloud Images (qcow2 and raw format).

Detailed Description
We already ship Atomic, Cloud and Docker images on other 64-bit Fedora supported architectures- aarch64, x86_64 and ppc64le. Also, with Fedora 27, s390x is part of primary koji build system. Currently, we only ship Server and Everything variants for s390x. So, our next steps should be to have missing Fedora variants on s390x architectures which users will find useful. This brings in shipping Atomic, Cloud and Docker images in Fedora for s390x as well.
Benefit to Fedora
s390x users will stick to Fedora for their cloud environment set-up while running VMs or containers. Also, we are one step closer on Fedora being fully multi-arch.

How To Test
Any of these images should be easily testable on an s390x Virtual Machine running latest Fedora. Method of testing is similar to how we test on other architectures like x86_64, ppc64le.
User Experience
s390x users will be able to run docker and cloud Images officially shipped by Fedora in their environment set-up. They will also be able to run Atomic Host on s390x which is optimized to run container images.
Dependencies

Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Initial attempt on producing these images on local s390x machines seems to give working docker images. Some work required for having working Atomic images (e.g. oz package update ) which is doable in F28 time-frame. Also, required changes in pungi configuration is already in place. Still, if due to some reason we are not able to get these images ready for F28, it can be moved to Fedora 29.
