existing DB2Tran gets deleted when changing an other DB2Entry

Add extra information in CICS InfoCenter, related to the way of working with DB2Entries and DB2Tranids.

A single DB2Entry can be pointed to by many DB2Tran definitions.
A DB2Entry can wildcard Transids or even explicitly define a Transid. In the case where a Transid has been explicitly defined CICS will define a DB2Tran for that Transid if no DB2Tran already exists. Now if you change the transaction associated with a DB2Entry and reinstall the DB2Entry then the old DB2Tran is deleted and replaced with a DB2Tran matching the changed value on the DB2Entry
