The Fedora KDE Live ISOs are not bootable on a ppc64le KVM system. The SLOF firmware reports failed to load CHRP boot loader and E3404: not a bootable device when booting the ISOs in the KVM VM. I think it is because ppc/bootinfo.txt refers to \boot\grub2\powerpc-ieee1275\grub.elf, while in Fedora we have \boot\grub2\powerpc-ieee1275\core.elf instead.

We probably need to add a fedora ppc64le live image test case to make sure we don't break this...

Lookup CHRP loader instead of using a static name
3f110bd 
On ppc the CHRP loader name can vary between distributions.
This commit adds a search method to lookup different ELF
loader names. In addition an integration test image for
Fedora was added. This Fixes #2741
