Extend ABO 2.2 support to z13

Our customer who use z13 wants to use ABO. Since ABO V2.2 supports only z14 or higher, they can't use. ABO V2.1 supports z13, however, ABO V2.1 was already EOMed.

    This Idea has been discussed internally and our plan is to extend the ABO 2.1 End Of Service (EOS) to a later date. As a result, this Idea is being accepted and will be used to extend the EOS of ABO 2.1. We will update this Idea once we have further information about the new EOS date.

    In Japan, many customers still use z13. Customers may lose the opportunity to consider ABO.
