Reduce the memory used in ICON for every XML-converter load module

Each load module of a XML-converter genenerated by RDz-xsebatch, containing input and output converters, has 300-400 KB, per operation. ICON loads each load module twice, so it takes approx 600+KB storage. This will require RDz changes to avoid loading the load module twice.

Also each load module has 64-100KB common code. This code should be extracted into a central library and linked in a way that it will be loaded only once and not for every converter.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. Your request is currently inline with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
