s390x/css: IO instr handler ending control



CSS code needs to tell the IO instruction handlers located in ioinst.c
how the emulated instruction should be ended. Currently this is done by
returning generic (POSIX) error codes, and mapping them to outcomes like
condition codes. This makes bugs easy to create and hard to recognize.

As a preparation for moving away from (mis)using generic error codes for
flow control let us introduce a type which tells the instruction
handler function how to end the instruction, in a more straight-forward
and less ambiguous way.
