During zOSMF upgrade of zOS add the ability to connect Old Usercat to New Mastercat Merged

For as long as Serverpac has been available (and maybe even before) when doing a zOS upgrade I create a New Master catalog and connect an old User Catalog to it which contains datasets that start with SYSINST in it. SYSINST is used for Serverpac datasets that are not required to be on the Sysres or system volumes (eg dlibs, smpe etc). This applies to all IBM Serverpac ie CICS,DB2,MQ,zOS etc. zOSMF install of zOS does not allow an old Usercat with a new Master Cat. I have spoken to some of my colleagues in the profession and quite a few commented they do a very similar thing (but havent used zOSMF to do a zOS upgrade yet.
