Adding ability to provide options in nim -o alt_disk_install call

At the moment we are not able to pass options to "nim -o alt_disk_install" that is used with the alt_disk_mksysb on the client. Concretely we would like to pass "-y" option to alt_disk_mksysb, to have the volume groups imported properly on the client.

    IBM has considered the request, and it will not be delivered in the future. If this request receives continued customer interest, it may be resubmitted for consideration after 12 months from the submit date.
