Add [NO]LAXFIELDS in SQL preprocessor

We need to be able to add new (defaulted) fields to DB2 aliases, tables, views etc. “on the fly”, i.e. without program change and without interruption in the runtime environment. That is why the fields have to be explicitly specified within a SELECT and INSERT.

Therefore we would like to get a new SQL preprocessor option such as [NO]LAXFIELDS:
- With LAXFIELDS as default
- With NOLAXFIELDS the fields must be explicitly specified in the SELECT and INSERT, see example in the Use Case

With NOLAXFIELDS the following SQL statements will be flagged:
EXEC SQL SELECT *
and
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO <name> not followed by a "("
