Modify FA to use FORM setting (if present) on SYSUDUMP rather than only SYSOUT CLASS.

If the Fault Analyzer IDIREPRT DD statement is not present then FA is dynamically allocating the DD using the FORM setting as identified on the job card, rather than the SYSUDUMP DD.
FA needs to use the SYSUDUMP FORM specification, if present, when dynamically allocating IDIREPRT.
