Allow the ZDFCT command to display information from the inactive FCTB

To assist the customer in managing record allocations on their online zTPF system, they would like to have an online  functional command to display record type attributes from both the current/active and Inactive FCTBs.  This would  allow a manual comparison of a record type, including all of the Split items,  Ordinal range, Equate Value, Record size, Ownership, Farf address and MMCCHHR ranges.  This would  ensure a correct update had been done and loaded..

Allow the ZDFCT command to display FCTB attributes from the inactive FCTB.

There is a zTPF command that was implemented with APAR PJ34869 which provides the information requested by the customer for use in analyzing record type allocated in the current zTPF FCTB.   The purpose of this enhancement  to the ZDFCT command is to allow the user to look at the record type attributes from the inactive FCTB if one exists.  This new function would be made available if the alternate FCTB was loaded via either the ZODBR LOAD or the ZFCTB LOAD commands.
