Add details for multiple occurrences of the same library name in the Add Files From Mainframe dialogue in Build Client

Customer is seeing the same library appear multiple times in the Add Files From Mainframe dialogue.
The behavior is expected as no more details are retrieved from maninframe (and this is how the differentiation could be done in interface).
At AmEx each application area has it's own set of Changeman
baseline libraries with several different types. This is probably what
is causing the confusion. The customer had this same thought and
suggested that we add the Changeman
type to the library name instead of repeating the library name over and
over.

    IBM Application Discovery` for IBM Z is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment. Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This RFE has recently been reappraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
