Enable to search for PTFs by IBM i products and product options

Possibility of searching for PTFs by IBM i product (for example 5770DG1, 5733SC1, 5770BR2,5770WDS, etc.) and additionally product options (as some PTFs are only for specific options) would improve by searching for the latest PTFs which need to be installed after installing the product or product option. Also it will help with the patching latest vulnerabilities for specific products. And it can also be a key indicator for the impact assessment - if IPL is needed for delayed PTF install as customers are always concerned about the downtime.
