Better diagnosis of JES2 checkpoint performance issues

Following a recent incident triggered by an application change which caused 130'000 unintended emails to be sent out via a trusted mail server (CSMTP) instead of the usual 4'000, this high amount slowed down JES2 significantly and led to our batch...

Support NOTIFY JCL in PROCs and INCLUDEs - (was Add dynamic system symbol for max return code of a job)
