Reference Application for zAPM components

Consider shipping reference application style scripts/injectors/stubs with the zAPM components to help the deployment teams to verify the installation without having to engage multiple teams across different technology areas.

For zCEE - Consider using the catalogue API shipped with zcee built on top of the CICS catalogue application, but with Dummy singularity headers.

For MQ - Similar to zCEE - perhaps an MQ Message invoking the CICS catalogue application?

For the DG - stubs to inject data to the different ports using dummy/simulated headers, and perhaps a TTG 'stub' which could output to logs for verification rather than a controller.

    Moving this to Future Development considerations. We have a broad intiaitive to improve the ability to provide installation verification processes and samples to help validate the success of both initial installation and updates to components within the product.
