Implement zftp dl/ul "am" functions - to download/upload all members from/to a PDS/PDSE

[pjfarleyiii]

Right now the zftp dl ds function can only download one member of a PDS/PDSE at a time. The zOSMF-based zowe "files dl am" function can download all members in one connection, which is much more efficient than one member at a time.

The "dl am" function should implement the equivalent of the FTP sequence:

cd PDS-DS-name
prompt
lcd <local-directory-for-dl>
mget *

It would also be very useful to have the same additional options available as does the zowe "files dl am" function:

--directory
--extension
--fail-fast
--response-timeout

The same features should be mirrored in an "zftp ul am" function for uploading a local (sub-)directory to a PDS/PDSE:

cd PDS-DS-name
prompt
lcd <local-directory-for-ul>
mput *
