Confirmation pop-up for JES commands (HOLD, RELEASE, CANCEL and PURGE) passed on jobs not owned by the same USERID

Thankfully not often but we have some times users that CANCEL/PURGE jobs in mass in "Active Jobs" filter in JES and disconnect a lot of others users.

For the need of "Show JCL" commands, we have left the parameter LIMIT_COMMANDS to "NOLIMIT" and the parameter LIMIT_CONSOLE=LIMITED doesn't work properly and we want our users have the possibility to CANCEL some jobs not of their own.
