Reinstatement of 'sed' in HMC v10

Hi ,

We urge the reinstatement of the 'sed' command in the next patch for HMC v10. Its removal (PTF MF71298 and MF71299) has critically impacted the functionality of numerous scripts, including ezh (Brian Smith) and eezh (Matthew Opoka). Additionally, we propose the integration of the 'awk' command for its powerful scripting capabilities.

Thank you for considering.

    Recovering the ability to perform data transformations is fundamental for an effective use of the HMC.

    The alternative is to run all the logic outside of the HMC, with a new ssh session for each command, which is both slow and cumbersome.

    The security of the HMC does not depend on the ability to run specific commands, but on what queries/changes the user can do.
