EXCI Improved Error Messages

For the CTG6876E EXCI errors print out additional information which is related to the error. For example on a 404 error log the User Token, for the 408 error print the UOW ID, for the 418 error print the Password Token. There are other EXCI error where additional information from CTG would be useful to verify against CICS TS to narrow down the cause of the problem. Should lead to faster resolution.
Might be good to set an environment variable to print the information from the EXCI initialize call when needed.
