Add a tailored flag of CMS_FTO in PARMGEN

Ideally, we want PARMGEN TEMS to officially support a tailored flag (proposed KDS_X_HUB_CMS_FTO_FLAG or something to that
effect) that supports generating the CMS_FTO=%KDS_X_HUB_CMS_FTO_FLAG%
value programmatically by the PARMGEN $PARSE job.

    Delivered in PARMGEN PTF UA81228 for APAR OA49893 (2Q16 Interim Feature) - (For TEMS) PARMGEN Provided configuration support for a new KDS_X_HUB_CMS_FTO_FLAG profile parameter which generates the CMS_FTO=%KDS_X_HUB_CMS_FTO_FLAG% parameter in the TEMS xKANPARU(KDSENV) runtime member. KDS_X_HUB_* parameters are applicable to a z/OS Remote TEMS based on these scenarios:
    • z/OS Remote TEMS connecting to a non-z/OS Hub TEMS enabled with the Hot Standby (FTO) feature.
    • z/OS Remote TEMS connecting to a z/OS High Availability (HA) Hub TEMS (Primary TEMS) and a z/OS HA Hub TEMS (Standby TEMS).
