Display Crypto S/N in Cryptos panel

In z/OS, ICSF provides the crypto S/N. When we need to toggle the Crypto CHP from the SE, it is helpful to have the S/N, so we can correlate it to the z/OS ICSF Crypto # to ensure we have the correct Crypto.

For example:
D ICSF,CARDS
CSFM668I 09.04.00 ICSF CARDS 313
ACTIVE DOMAIN = 000
CRYPTO EXPRESS6 COPROCESSOR 6C00
STATUS=Active SERIAL#=XXXXXXXX LEVEL=6.0.8z

On the Crypto panel, the PCHID and ID is displayed. The ID is only 2 chars, so we assume it corresponds to the suffix of the 4 digit identifier from the ICSF display, in this case 6C00. Adding the S/N would be another way to validate we are selecting the right PCHID.

    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan.
