Allow JSON passthrough for API Requester calls from z/OS Connect3.

It would be nice if it was possible to enable JSON passthrough in z/OS Connect3 instead of the interface being the generated request and response cobol copies that the gradle plugin creates. Then we could have the real API request and API response...

for zOS Connect similar to ZCEE-I-160 we need the PATCH option for OAS2. We don't have the ability to run API 3.0 and our users are trying to access vendors that use PATCH.

So there are 3 HTTP methods that are not supported PATCH, TRACE, CONNECT. While TRACE and CONNECT are not that common in APIs, the PATCH HTTP method is more and more used. If only a set of values need to be updated, PATCH would be a more efficient...
