Externalize X'4032' Checkpoint Log record layout

Provide a DSECT and/or layout of the data within the X'4032' checkpoint log record "OTMA TPIPE/QAB/TIB/MTE/MCB".

The main use we have in mind for this is we'd be able to see the ENQCT, DEQCT, QCT for all Tpipes at a given checkpoint. Similar to what we can do now with Lterms and Nodes.

We would then be able to get a rough idea of when a QCT for a particular Tpipe stated to build up and give a time range to dig deeper into.
