RSEAPI - support changing RACF passphrases. you currently only support eight (8) character passwords

eight (8) character passwords no longer meet modern security requirements. RACF passphrases are becoming the "new" standard/requirement. We want to use RSEAPI password API to set/modify RACF passphrases - we need the ability to call RSEAPI password from our front-end applications. This is a major requirement in our Mainframe modernization roadmap.
