Provide enanched, automatically manageable information on STP status

STP related errors are displayed in the syslog very early at IPL time, and this makes it difficult for them to be captured by automation and monitoring tools on the fly. We request to enhance the “”DISPLAY ETR” command in two ways:

- Include more information relevant STP status. I.E. the arbiter assisted recovery status (IEA396E)

- Provide such information in a format that could be easily used by automation tools to trap and signal any issue automatically

    .As a followup, a possible alternative is that since IEA396E is an action message, it should appear on any D R,L system command output. So, even if the message got issued during IPL (NIP time), the action message should be retained and be displayed via a D R,L command. Many customer shops have automation that regularly issue D R,L. And then from that output, a customer's automation or monitoring tools can see that message and act accordingly.
