Add GLOBAL support for IBM defined healthchecks

GLOBAL support on the update statement should be added/allowed on IBM defined healthchecks so efficient management of the checks can be achieved. For example take alot of RACF checks, if we pick RACF_CERTIFICATE_EXPIRATION by default it will run in every system in the sysplex, in our environment we have 20+ systems in the plex and it would be nice if we could change this to a global check to only run on one system at any one time. I'm sure this would also benefit a number of other IBM check that businesses may choose to tailor.
