5733-ICC and BRMS - Use just one Image Catalog, instead of one per image

Sometimes BRMS maintenance can't remove old random tape image catalogs created when saving to the cloud, and we need to run the tool one more time or remove manually to fix the issue. 

If using just 1 image catalog (even with a fixed name) we can ease that maintenance, and WRKIMGCLG will be more readable.

    This request does not align with the current BRMS strategy so it is being closed. When using IBM Cloud Storage Solutions for i with BRMS, the current BRMS implementation was the least complex design that can support concurrent and parallel backups along with the ability to free up image catalog resources efficiently when moving volumes to the cloud. Using a single image catalog does not allow support of concurrent and parallel backups.
