Improve how TSA sees attended autotasks in Netview

For the commands listed below, TSA should treat autotasks started with *MASTER* and *INTERN* the same way it does with the ones started with *ANY* (attended autotask) Meaning that the default value for the VERIFY parameter should be WTOR.

INGMOVE
INGREQ
INGRUN
INGSET

By not sending a confirmation WTOR, the autotask risks to stay blocked, preventing incoming commands from being executed as well as having a growth in the message queue area.



If autotask() then;do;"PIPE (STAGESEP ! NAME FINDCONS)" ,
" NETV DISCONID" ,
"! DROP FIRST 2 LINES" ,
"! DROP LAST 1 LINE" ,
"! SEPARATE" ,
"! LOC 9.10 / "!!opid()!!" /" ,
"! LOC 38.5 /*ANY*/" ,
"! COUNT MESSAGES" ,
"! VAR cons_any";If cons_any = 1 then;vfy = 'WTOR';end

It should consider *master* and *intern* as they are attended autotasks as well.
