Add the possibility to force acceptance of sidefile even if mismatch

In the 3270 interactive reanalysis, the user can force Fault Analyzer to accept a side file even if the verification fails. The user "accepts" that a mismatch may happen.
It is not possible from the RDz plug-in. It is important that this feature is implemented.
I understand it is due to the fact that the plug-in is in fact only formatting a batch reanalysis. So, add this feature to the batch reanalysis too.

    A new FA exit, IDIXSFOR, has been implemented in V12 such that the exit can force a sidefile to be used even if the last 12 instructions of the object
    code do not match.  This exit is applicable for all environments i.e. ISPF & plug-in.
