ZCodescan support for High Level Assembler and bulk scan support

1. It will be great if support for vulnerability scanning can be added for HLASM. Big shops like us have thousands of high level assembler programs live in production. Ability to scan high level assembler will ensure compliance and security.

2. We have around 35000+ cobol programs across multiple lines of business. Zcodescan should provide ability to scan programs at once(at PDS or repository level) rather than each program individually.

3. Support to trigger Zcodescan in batch through a JCL rather than just through an IDE.

4. More maturity in product to identify hardcoded credentials rather than just something like WS-PASSWORD
