change systools.special_authority_data_mart to have option where to place the files in user defined library

need to make sure the data is "locked down" by being able to place the resulting SENSITIVE file in a different library, just like the audit journal data_mart SQL.

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that is important to address.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ https://comeur.org/what-is-ceac/ .

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this Idea at this time, so it is being closed.

    The SPECIAL_AUTHORITY_DATA_MART table is installed in the SYSTOOLS library. There is no way to let a user select a different library for the install.

    Part of the value of the services that are delivered in SYSTOOLS is that the source used to create them is usually available to extract, study, and reuse. For this data mart service, we recommend extracting the source and changing it to be rebuilt in your own secure library.
