Support Null configuration as a supported feature for Region Switch

For clients managing multiple GDPS sessions within a single Kg/Kr system pair, provide the ability to load a null config (via XML) for region switch purposes.  This capability does exist but according to IBM is not supported.  This would allow customers to reduce the number of K system LPARs supporting GDPS.  Please see case TS012205101 for additional detail.
