Get "Run as/Debug as" working in local projects.

Following a modern DevOps approach to software development, developers will not write code remotely anymore. The source code of projects, including Cobol, JCL, etc. will be located at git repositories. Then, developers will work with a local copy of the repo and commit changes as they are ready to integrate.

In such a context, it is required that common development tasks such as running or debugging programs, can be triggered on local resources with a one-click action, in order to achieve a smooth local development experience and avoid an impact on productivity.    

Currently, they have this experience running JCLs via the submit option, but they cannot do the same for debugging purposes, unless they manually include code (as CEEOPTS), whereas it is automatically managed by IDz when debugging a remote JCL.

So, this IDEA suggests that "Run as/Debug as" operations are supported for local resources (JCLs) too. Furthermore, It would be expected that "Run Configurations" and "Debug Configurations" are supported as well.
