LE should give an error for an attempt to start a new enclave in a single-enclave environment

An LE environment that is set up for a single enclave only will not support an attempt to start a second enclave. Currently, if this is attempted in COBOL, the result is a S0C1 in CEEBPIRA. An APAR is open that will change this to be a U4093-92 ab...
