Externalize the two TLD fields related to ZSCREENI dump size

The image dump depth and width are stored in the TLD, but not exposed in Z* variables. In order to find the beginning of the line associated within ZSCREENI pointed to by ZSCREENC one needs to know the dump width, which on larger than 24x80 terminals can be more than 80 and less than the physical terminal size. There is no variable that shows the dump width.

Sample case: editing an 80 byte pds member on a 43x132 sized terminal, ZSCREENW will be 80, but the actual dump width (TLD) is 88. The EDIT screen adjusts its size on larger terminals based on data width.

ZSCREEND and ZSCREENW reflect the terminal size not the dump size.

    Note that this SHARE RFE is the same requirement as that discussed in RFE 66461. This requirement is being accepted, and that older RFE will be closed as a duplicate of this one.
