Convert to Free Format for D, P and F-Specs

We are missing an option to convert D, P and F-Specs automatically to Free format Syntax. This is currently only working for C-Specs.
Please add this feature to the existing function.

Currently you can reach the function by right-click on the RPG-Source


Use Case:

When converting programs from V6.1 to V7.1.11 Syntax (**FREE in first line) it will save a lot of time while programming.
