Add fixed 2GB page utilization to MVSPM_PAGING_H

In IZPCA there is currently no way to monitor how many of the total fixed 2GB LFA pages are in use.  Please add to MVSPM_PAGING_H either a column for SMF71GRX or SMF71GUX from the SMF type 71 records or calculate the utilization of all defined fixed 2GB pages like RMF monitor 3 does on the STORM panel. Fixed 2GB pages cannot be reused for any other purpose, monitoring how many are wasted is critical to reducing wasted LPAR memory.
