Refactor the common XML-converter parts in libraries/host modules to reduce each converters memory footprint

I recognized that every generated "SGW Entrprise" XML-converter contains same or very similar code. This common code could be extracted from the converter and placed into a central library.

This is especially relevant for code that uses a lot of memory. The procedure which declares the static variable illegal_xml_chars is such a code:
This static variable uses 63KB memory for every converter.

Teodoro Cipresso is already aware of this requirement.

    RDz is dependent on functions in IMS Connect in order to deliver this RFE. We fell this is a valid requeirement but we will not be able to deliver in the next 2 year time frame. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. In the meantime RDz team is actively working with the IMS team to determine when we can provide this longer term. Thanks.
