An update that contains one feature and has four fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for plymouth fixes the following issues:

  * Use frame-buffer in vmware VM platform, since the system use vesa, plymouth
    DRM driver intial out of time, and the cutomer also feedback frame-buffer
    works fine (bsc#1234643).
  * Bochs and cirrus DRM drivers are fully compatible with plymouth. Remove the
    workaround that forces them to use fbdev.
  * Resolves the blank screen when disabling fbdev interfaces (bsc#1232727,
    bsc#1234643).
  * Support the 2nd monitor hotplugin to the system in random order
    (bsc#1231214).
  * Tumbleweed following upstream, which already support "\--runstatedir", don't
    need this modification anymore (jsc#PED-5841).
  * The current edition of autoconf on SLE-15-SP6:GA don't support
    "\--runstatedir" yet, so reverse plymouth compile option to the old
    "\--withruntimedir" (jsc#PED-5841).
  * Properly list services as parameters to:
    * populate-initrd: Install label-freetype plugin into initrd if
    * ply-device-manager: Add plymouth.force-frame-buffer-on-boot
    * systemd: Add mkinitcpio support to
    * ply-device-manager: Also ignore SimpleDRM devs in coldplug
  * Avoid invalid script commands failure (bsc#1203147).
