Add fields to the CPSM CICSRGN Resource Table so as to be able to compute the QR TCB Dispatch / Interval ratio

This would make it easier to monitor the QR TCB Dispatch / Interval Ratio.  As it is right now, MSGUSR for each CICS region has to be scanned for the DFHDS0102 message.  The items needed to calculate this value, or the value itself, could be put into the CICSRGN Resource Table and could be monitored using the CPSM API for the current value.  This could then be sent to a dashboard to see how busy the CICS regions are (along with other data taken from CICSRGN and other resource tables), which would be important for tuning the CICS regions.

    The values required to calculate the QR dispatch ratio are already provided by the DSPMODE resource table (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/6.x?topic=tables-dspmode-resource-table).

    DSGACT is the total CPU time used by this mode

    DSGTDT is the total real time used by this mode


    DSGACT / DSGTDT for the QR TCB gives the dispatch ratio.
