Improve tracking of what job is the client job for QSQSRVR jobs with ability to review over time

Today, a CPF9898 message is logged to the QSQSRVR job log with the server mode connecting job information. This is useful while the client is actively using the job, but it is insufficient to assess the overall workload on QSQSRVR jobs by the various different clients that may be using server mode connections. 

With ODBC and JDBC, a CPIAD09 message is logged to the history log, and QSYS2.history_log_info can be used to summarize information about the connections - such as number of connections by current user and rates over time.  This same exercise cannot be done today for QSQSRVR jobs. 

While Collection Services includes the current user, this is not always captured and the prestart job could be used many times within a single CS interval. So while the Collection Services data can provide some insights into the clients using SQL server mode, it is not sufficiently robust to do a thorough assessment to provide recommendations. 

This is important information as it can build a case for clients on why they should be using subsystems to isolate different applications. Today, it can take quite a bit of study to quantify the workload driven in QSQSRVR jobs. 

For an example, see this article:  https://www.seidengroup.com/2022/05/04/simplify-with-subsystems/

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