Moving LSAVs into OTMA ITASK block itself for removing any storage management overhead

Add the 20 save areas into the main OTMA ITASK block DSECT, for example DFSYQAB. Get the one block, chain its save areas together, and then pass SA1 to DFSCIR. This will get rid of LSAVs and the DFSBCB GET for save areas all together.

Simplify the use of OTMA descriptors

PROCLIB member DFSYDTx follows the same rule as the ETO descriptor members DFSDSCMx using a one byte suffix. The value must match the SUFFIX= parameter of the IMSGEN system definition macro with the result that we can only create one DFSYDTx membe...
