Improve Return Code Handling in JCL EXEC API

Today, the JCLExec API returns the maxRC as a String, which need to be split by a customer script again. See the ZUnitConfig.groovy in zAppBuild for example.
Please enhance the API to extract the completion code as an Integer value to simplify scripting, something like Integer getMacCompletionCode()

    DBB v2.0.1 introduces the new JobExec command which replaces the JCLExec command. The JobExec command is functionally the same as JCLExec but does not rely on the System Display and Search Facility (SDSF) to function. The JobExec.execute method now returns the maximum RC from the JCL job submission as an int.

    NOTE: The JCLExec command is deprecated in DBB 2.0.1 and will be removed in a later release. Customers should update their build scripts to use the new JobExec command instead.

    For more details, see The JobExec command in the DBB Documentation site.
