Add a list of groups to z/os Connect globalInvokeGroup

The globalInvokeGroup element only allows a single group (assume RACF group profile), however, we need multiple RACF group profiles in order to support our development and testing. This would be similar to the multiple group support provided in the globalAdminGroup element.

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.20 / APAR PH09950:
    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?crawler=1&uid=swg1PI99563

    Multiple group names can now be specified for the invoke, operations and reader authorization groups. This enhancement applies to both the global authorization attributes on the zosconnect_zosConnectManager element, as well as for specific authorization attributes on the zosconnect_zosConnectAPIs > zosConnectAPI, zosconnect_services > service, zosconnect_zosConnectService and zosconnect_apiRequesters > apiRequester elements. Multiple group names were already supported for the administration authorization groups.

    For further details about configuring API authorisation, refer to the “API provider authorisation” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Knowledge Center:

    Being able to use a RACF profile for authorization instead of naming RACF groups in server.xml would be even better as it would allow the security team to maintain authorization completely within RACF instead of needing to name groups in server.xml. Possible RACF classes for such a profile could include FACILITY or SERVAUTH.
