Make Debug Manager SYSPLEX aware

Hi IBM,

We'd like to see the DBGMGR (and EQAPROF) sysplex-aware, especially for CICS debugging (but also batch).

When the debug manager was started on all LPARS in SYSPLEX (relevant for the CICS plex) - all RSEDs will know about all of them when a user connects to RSE - the user information will be send to ALL debug managers.

    DBGMGR or RSED should talk to each other in a Sysplex and reroute Debug sessions via the connected session, if necessary.

    Hi IBM,
    I've added some words about VIPA/direct connections to the Case mentioned in the RFE. It's to late to edit the RFE to precise the aim.

    Mainly we don't want to use more than one RSED connection to one Sysplex to be sure to catch a debug session in IDz.
    At the moment, in batch we could circumvent this (for 99% of all cases) with SYSAFF=*. In CICS this is simply not possible, as long a CICS plex is distributed to multiple LPARs.

    The minor aim (but also very helpful) is the same for activating the debugger profile - this works in batch (as we share data sets) but not in CICS where RSED must be connect to the correct LPAR.
