ICSF support for pin block format 4

We recently had a requirement in a project to encrypt PIN codes with an input PIN block format described in ISO 9564-1:2011/Amd.1:2015. Since we didn't find it in the ICSF manual (other ISO formats like ISO-0 to 3 are described in there), we had to write it ourselves. We would like to have ICSF support for ISO format-4 too.
