NOUNREFALL option: improved warning messages

When using RULES(NOUNREFALL) the message
---
IGYSC2262-W **RULES(NOUNREFALL)** No references to "XXXXXXX", nor any of its subordinates if "XXXXXXX" is a group item, were found in the program.
---
does not refer to a source line but to the name of the data-item.
- If a group item has no name, FILLER is substituted in the message, which is misleading.
- If a group item has the name FILLER, the message can refer to more than one structure.

Although we know that data-items should have meaningful names, using FILLER instead is quiet common for structures that were not referenced at top level.

Please add the line-number of the data-item to the warning message.
