Port FIRST_DAY function to Db2 for i

IBM Db2 11.1 introduced a new scalar function FIRST_DAY to return the first day of the month.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/11.5?topic=functions-first-day

Please port this function to IBM Db2 for i.


Use Case:

Make SQL more readable.

Make SQL more portable between IBM Db2 for other products.

Potentially better performance from a native function vs. a UDF to compute this value.

The similar function LAST_DAY already exists in Db2 for i.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
