Improve messaging and options regarding starting databases at the end of recovery job.

At the end of an IMS Recovery Expert job, messages do not state clearly whether the database(s) involved were started or not. The database should be restored to the same state it was when the recovery job began, but that state may not be known. It would help to have a clear message indicating whether databases were started or not at the end of the job. Also, it would be helpful to have an option to have databases started at the end of the recovery job, regardless of the database status when the recovery job began.
