Add LUName and certificate support to TN3270 Basic Client Support

Currently it seems that SuperSession TN3270 Basic Client Support does not support LUName specification. Adding support for LUName would allow for connection to OSA console ports or to specific applications on a TCPIP stack.

Adding certificate support would allow for encrypted communication.

    Customers can control which Virtual luname CL/SuperSession will use on specific sessions. This can be done with VMS DEF statements. Refer to the IBM CL/SuperSession Customization Guide (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/clsupersession/3.1?topic=SSSN2Z_3.1/download_pdfs.htm). See Defining a New Virtual Terminal Pool (CH3, page 18) and How Virtual Terminals Are Selected from Virtual Terminal Pools (CH3, page 24) for additional information.
    You can define a range of lunames or a specific luname. In the case of using a VSM DEFINE for one specific virtual luname (target application knows LU1 is associated with User1), then the user will need to modify their session attributes to use the pool name for that specific virtual luname. If they can pick from a range of allowed lunames, then the pool name can be on the APPLDEF statement.
    TLS support is in the development plans for CL/SuperSession.
