Enforcing JESSPOOL security rules on JCAN command

When JCAN is used to issue a cancel or purge command, it will issue the operator command $CJ(nnnnnn). This is like what SDSF does, when a line command C/P against the selected job. The significant difference is SDSF can/will perform a check against JESSPOOL to ensure the user has permission to cancel or purge that process running or purge output before issuing that opercmd. JCAN does not do this.

This opens up JCAN to destructive events when commands are generated in error, too broad, or bad actors, resulting in opercmds against batch work in a shared environment that the human/non-human ID should not have access to do.

JCAN should perform a check against the JESSPOOL for the jobname/number before issuing the opercmd or get an option to enable enforcing that.
