zEDC Authorized Services Managing Module Dynamic Area and History Buffer + Update Documentation

While testing out zEDC authorized services running in synchronous mode on a z15, we noticed pairs of STORAGE OBTAINS/RELEASES surrounding each call to FPZ4ABC, leading to increased CPU time. After opening a PMR, it was revealed that these requests are done in order to manage a module dynamic area and history buffer. I was instructed to open this RFE for the zEDC developers to take a look at the design on the FPZ4ABC service.

The PMR also revealed that the zEDC documentation was lacking for the authorized services on the z15. Apparently, FPZ4RZV/RMR/DMR/URZ do not need to be called while on a z15, only FPZ4ABC needs to be called. This information is nowhere to be found in the zEDC documentation. I believe the doc should be updated to indicate this as it can save overhead and simplify the calling of these authorized services.
