Add support for Easytrieve dependancy discovery during IDz User Build Wizard

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 Easytrieve dependency discovery.  

There was an existing IBM Idea that was rejected in 2024 but M&T would like to have this idea revisited.

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.

    Thank you for submitting your idea. After careful evaluation, IBM has determined that we are unable to implement the request at this time, as it does not align with our current multi-year strategy.

    You are welcome to resubmit this idea for consideration 12 months from the date of this decision. If you would like to discuss this further or explore potential next steps, please feel free to reach out directly.

    We appreciate the thought and detail you put into this submission, and we hope the information shared is helpful to your needs.
