Add support for Assembler dependancy discovery during IDz User Build Wizard

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently the IDz User Build Wizard only supports Enterprise Cobol and Enterprise PL/I include files.  We would like to expand this functionality to support Assembler macro discovery.  

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/developer-for-zos/17.0?topic=zappbuild-using-user-build-wizard

Discover the dependencies to load for building: Select this option to cause DBB to search for include files used by the file being built. All files to be included in the user build operation are identified by the language editors. Ensure that the source file has been opened in an editor before the user build is run so that dependencies can be detected. Discover dependencies supports Enterprise COBOL copybooks and Enterprise PL/I include files. Discover dependencies for files that are not in the same Git repository are uploaded but not used.
