Add options for connecting to a decommissioned CPC

When a CPC has been removed (i.e. moving from z15 to z16), it stays in the network for a little while.  When doing the HWILIST such as by Broadcom's BCPii feature, it gets this decommissoned CPC and tries to connect.   Once it tries the RESTful interface, it tries 6 times with 5 min. waits in-between.  This can really drag out the time it takes to initialize. Like 25 min. per CPC.  I checked with Broadcom and they are not specifying any # of retries or wait time when trying to connect.  Ideas are numbered below:

1) Support a way for HWILIST to exclude CPCs that are in a "no longer being monitored" status as seen by new D BCPII,ALL command.

2) Allow an option on a connect for REST to reduce the # of re-tries and/or the wait time in-between tries.
