Provide a redistributable JAR file for the IBMJZOS API in Java 11

In Java 7 & 8 the IBMJZOS API toolkit was shipped in the JAR file ibmjzos.jar and licensed for redistribution. The same function is required in Java 11. This enables other s/w components to easily embedd this file and also enables the usage of the helper classes in the com.ibm.jzos.fields package on platforms other than z/OS.
