Respect the dbb-userbuild settings in zapp files also in IDz.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Our users consider it cumbersome to manually click themselves through the whole USS folder structure when configuring the DBB userbuild. With VSCode and z open editor one can configure the user build using a special section of the zapp file (https://ibm.github.io/zopeneditor-about/Docs/zapp.html#a-zapp-file-example). In IDz the zapp files are limited to property group sections. User build settings seem to be only cached and cannot be fed into IDz anywhere. I am talking of things like the build script location and all the information you have to provide when right-clicking on a cobol file in the z/OS projects view.If we could give our users zapp files they can import life would be easier for everyone.
