Allow CICS resource security to also add a function component.

Currently, if a user is permitted to a specific resource, they can use that resource regardless of context. An example may be that a user is authorized to write to, or read from a transient data queue as it may form part of an application. I may wish the user is not to be able to acess that queue from CEBR.

The issue it the resource check should be based upon the function being performed and not just access to a specifc resource name.

By default this could be the transaction ID. However there could be a securable API request to assign a security function to be used for subsequent requests to allow for menu type transactions.
