TLS Failure Message Enhancements :: System SSL error code added to all TLS handsahke/authentication failure messages

Currently when an FTP fails we get a cryptic message such as the following in the FTP server
ID=FTPSEC100168 SECURE fails Reason=4 Text=The TLS handshake failed

or in a client connection

EZY2640I Using dd:SYSFTPD=SYS5.TCPIP.PUBLIC(CFTPSEC) for local site configuration parameters.
EZA1450I IBM FTP CS V2R1
EZA1456I Connect to ?
EZA1736I AMVS.MF.JPMCHASE.NET 921
EZA1554I Connecting to: AMVS.mf.jpmchase.net 169.116.55.11 port: 921.
220-FTPSEC1 IBM FTP CS V2R1 at AMVS.mf.jpmchase.net, 15:57:14 on 2017-03-07.
220 Connection will close if idle for more than 30 minutes.
EZA2897I Authentication negotiation failed
EZA2898I Unable to successfully negotiate required authentication
EZA1701I >>> QUIT
221 Quit command received. Goodbye.


Now these messages lack the SYSTEM SSL code that you only see if you have debug turned on. So I'm proposing that the SYSTEM SSL error code be added to all TLS authentication fail type messages that are posted to speed up debugging issues

    We are no longer enhancing FTP's native usage of System SSL. Based on our discussion on 4/6/2022, we learned that the customer has already converted over from native use of System SSL to AT-TLS, which is the recommended direction.
