Add "Create Result Data Sets" to Compare function in File Manager plug-in

In the File Manager IDZ plug-in, add the "create result data sets" feature to the Compare function, as it exists in the equivalent File Manager ISPF version.

This is an extremely useful feature which is used extensively by File Manager users.

The lack of this feature in the IDZ plug-in provides yet another excuse for developers to resist the transition from ISPF to IDZ.
